~~''Background to the bills''~~
The carbon pricing mechanism commenced on 1 July 2012.(For more information on the carbon pricing mechanism and how it works, please see the Clean Energy Regulator’s [http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/Carbon-Pricing-Mechanism/About-the-Mechanism/Pages/default.aspx website].) It is an emissions trading scheme that puts a price on carbon emissions. It applies to “liable entities” (a group that includes companies that emit a high level of greenhouse gases). Initially the price of carbon is fixed by the mechanism but from 1 July 2015 the price will be set by the market, though the Labor Government did announce plans to bring this forward to 1 July 2014 just before they were defeated by the Coalition in the 2013 election.

The eleven bills are a package to remove the [carbon pricing mechanism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_pricing_in_Australia), which was introduced by the Australian Labor Party while in government.

Clean Energy Legislation (Carbon Tax Repeal) Bill 2013 and related bills — First Reading — Consider the legislation together

Description

The majority voted against the <a href="http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=CHAMBER;id=chamber%2Fhansards%2Fb80082a5-37ac-4a37-8680-65e0bb111f54%2F0121;query=Id%3A%22chamber%2Fhansards%2Fb80082a5-37ac-4a37-8680-65e0bb111f54%2F0000%22">motion</a> that the bills be considered together.
Passing this motion meant that each of the eleven bills will have to be considered separately.
The eleven bills are a package to remove the carbon pricing mechanism, which was introduced by the Australian Labor Party while in government. The Coalition described the mechanism as a “carbon tax” and removing it was a <a href="http://www.liberal.org.au/scrapping-carbon-tax-and-reducing-cost-living">key policy platform</a> during the 2013 election.
The eleven bills are:

Summary of the debate in the Senate
@MP voted aye to say that the bills should be considered together
@MP voted no to say that the bills should not be considered together
Background to the bills
The carbon pricing mechanism commenced on 1 July 2012. It is an emissions trading scheme that puts a price on carbon emissions. It applies to “liable entities” (a group that includes companies that emit a high level of greenhouse gases). Initially the price of carbon is fixed by the mechanism but from 1 July 2015 the price will be set by the market, though the Labor Government did announce plans to bring this forward to 1 July 2014 just before they were defeated by the Coalition in the 2013 election.
For more information on the carbon pricing mechanism and how it works, please see the Clean Energy Regulator’s <a href="http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/Carbon-Pricing-Mechanism/About-the-Mechanism/Pages/default.aspx">website</a>.

Description

~~Mitch Fifield~~
~~I move:~~
~~That these bills may proceed without formalities, may be taken together and be now read a first time.~~
~~Penny Wong~~
Mr Deputy President, the opposition ask that you put the question separately on one of the procedural elements of the motion that the minister has moved, and that is 'that these bills may be taken together'.
~~Stephen Parry~~
~~Senator Wong, just so we are clear: do you want to debate that portion of the motion under standing order 113?~~
~~Penny Wong~~
~~Correct, and I am requesting that that question be taken separately.~~
~~Stephen Parry~~
As you realise, I am obliged to do that. So let us break it up into the three elements. The first element was 'that these bills may proceed without formalities'. That is the question I now put.
~~Question agreed to.~~
~~The second motion is 'that these bills may be taken together', and that is the question I now put.~~
~~Long debate text truncated.~~
