PRIME Minister Tony Abbott says he expects the new Senate vote on the carbon tax this week despite Greens and Labor attempts to delay the legislation.

The Senate had issued a July 14 deadline for a crucial report into the legislation, which needs to be tabled before debate can begin.

Labor and Greens senators on Friday refused to take part in an environment and communications committee meeting, effectively stopping release of the carbon report this week.

[quote author=adelcrow link=1404635228/1#1 date=1404636979]I wonder who Abbott is going to blame when his actions attract tariffs on Australian businesses and we have to go back to pricing carbon just as the rest of the world is doing.[/quote]

Abbott wont need to blame any body, he is feathering his nest right now for retirement, and he doesn't have to wait to he 72!   Sanctions wont be applied, it will continue as now, its businesses deserting Australia, and buying less and less from us.

rest of the world? How often have we heard that bullshit quote!
