Australia Repeals Carbon Tax

schwit1 notes that the Australian government has repealed a controversial carbon tax. After almost a decade of heated political debate, Australia has become the world's first developed nation to repeal carbon laws that put a price on greenhouse gas emissions. In a vote that could highlight the difficulty in implementing additional measures to reduce carbon emissions ahead of global climate talks next year in Paris, Australia's Senate on Wednesday voted 39-32 to repeal a politically divisive carbon emissions price that contributed to the fall from power of three Australian leaders since it was first suggested in 2007.

• I do not like this Abbott twit,
• I do not like him just one bit,
• I do not like his marriage stance,
• Leaving gays without a chance.
• I do not like his 50s views,
• About a womans right to choose.
• I do not like that he thinks strange,
• Science facts on climate change.
• I do not like the way he speaks,
• And fumbles talking on his feets.
• I do not like his lies and tricks.
• I do not like his head of bricks.
• I think we need to vote again.
• I do not want him as PM
