  • The majority voted in favour of a [http://www.openaustralia.org/debates/?id=2014-06-25.134.1 motion] introduced by Liberal MP [http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Christopher_Pyne&mpc=Sturt&house=representatives Christopher Pyne], which was:
  • ''That so much of the [http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/standing-orders.html standing orders] be suspended as would prevent the motion for the [http://www.peo.gov.au/learning/fact-sheets/making-a-law.html third reading] being moved without delay.''
  • Because this motion was successful, the House will now vote on whether to read the bill for a third time and therefore pass it in the House.(See that third reading division [http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/division.php?date=2014-06-25&number=11&house=representatives here]. )
  • ''Background to the bill''
  • The [http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r5280 bill] was introduced to establish the Emissions Reduction Fund to replace the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_pricing_in_Australia carbon price] and to provide a transition for the Carbon Farming Initiative.(Read more about the bill in its [http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fems%2Fr5280_ems_5bc5670e-bc49-4b79-8083-78c9ee7389ed%22 explanatory memorandum]. ) This is a central part of the Government's Direct Action policy,(Read more about Coalition's Direct Action policy on ABC News [http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-20/coalition-climate-change-direct-action-policy-explained/5067188 here]. ) which was a key [https://www.liberal.org.au/our-plan/environment election commitment] of the Coalition.
  • The Carbon Farming Initiative was introduced by the previous Labor Government and is a voluntary carbon offsets scheme that currently "allows farmers and land managers to earn carbon credits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (such as nitrous oxide and methane) and storing carbon in vegetation and soils through changes to agricultural and land management practices (also known as carbon farming)".(Read more about the Carbon Farming Initiative [http://www.daff.gov.au/climatechange/cfi here]. )
  • The Coalition Government supports the Carbon Farming Initiative but Minister for Environment [http://publicwhip-rails.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Greg_Hunt&mpc=Flinders&house=representatives Greg Hunt] has said that it "can be better, stronger, simpler and more streamlined",(Read Mr Hunt's full comments [http://www.environment.gov.au/minister/hunt/2014/mr20140318.html here]. ) which is what this bill aims to do with its changes to the approvals process and the introduction of a 25-year-long option for carbon sequestration projects (currently all projects must run for a period of 100 years).(Read more about the changes in the bill's explanatory memorandum [http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id%3A%22legislation%2Fems%2Fr5280_ems_5bc5670e-bc49-4b79-8083-78c9ee7389ed%22 here].)
