Description

<p pwmotiontext="moved">That these bills be now read a third time.</p>
The majority voted against a motion to read the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS Fuel Credits) Bill 2009 [No. 2] and the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Amendment (Household Assistance) Bill 2009 [No. 2] for a third time.[1]
This means that the majority of Senators do not want to pass the bills in the Senate and that they will not proceed to become law.
One Liberal Senator, [http://publicwhip-test.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Judith_Troeth&mpc=Senate&house=senate Judith Troeth], crossed the floor to vote 'aye' with the government.[2]
''Background to the bills''

The scheme is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_trading emission trading scheme] designed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas greenhouse gases] in an effort to address [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_chnage climate change]. It gives effect to Australia's obligations under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Framework_Convention_on_Climate_Change United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol Kyoto Protocol].
The design of the scheme has been criticised by the business community for threatening jobs and by environmentalists for not going far enough with its emission reduction targets.[4]
