Legislation to repeal Australia’s carbon-price mechanism, rejected by the upper house today, will be re-introduced in parliament and should pass next week, the government said.
“The government will continue to pursue its repeal,” Leader in the Senate Eric Abetz told media in Canberra today. Today’s rejection in the upper house was a “technical issue” that will be overcome by reintroducing the laws in the lower house on July 14, he said.
