Mr Palmer yesterday revealed his party would vote with the Coalition in the Senate to repeal the carbon tax if lower power prices were locked in, but would fight to retain the RET and other key climate bodies. Professor Garnaut says Mr Palmer's support for the RET will have "important" effects and help Australia significantly reduce its emissions. Legislation to repeal the carbon tax passed the Lower House this afternoon and will now be ready to be put before the new Senate as a likely first order of business.
