Title

~~Bills — Clean Energy Legislation Amendment Bill 2012; Second Reading~~
Bills - Clean Energy Legislation Amendment Bill 2012; Second Reading

Description

~~Anna Burke~~
~~The question is that this bill be now read a second time.~~
The Aye voters succeeded in passing a motion that this bill be read a second time.
This means that the members have agreed to the main idea of the bill and can now discuss it in detail. However, in this case there was no further discussion on the bill. Instead, immediately after this division the members agreed to read the bill a third time without any further division. This means that the bill was passed in the House of Representatives and would now be sent to the Senate.
The Clean Energy Legislation Amendment Bill 2012 was part of a package of three bills to include non-transport gaseous fuels in the carbon pricing mechanism. This means that the carbon pricing mechanism would apply to compressed natural gas from 1 July 2012. It would also apply to non-transport liquid petroleum gas and liquefied natural gas from 1 July 2013.
The two other bills were: the Clean Energy (Customs Tariff Amendment) Bill 2012; and the Clean Energy (Excise Tariff Legislation Amendment) Bill 2012.
