Isramart : Australia’s Senate rejects carbon-trade vote delay

Isramart news:
Australia’s Senate rejected on Wednesday attempts to delay a vote on the government’s carbon-trade legislation, indicating that draft laws may pass a vote in the upper house of parliament this week.

The scheme, already rejected once by the Senate, is scheduled to start in July 2011, covering 1,000 of Australia’s biggest polluters. It would be the world’s most comprehensive carbon-reduction scheme outside of Europe.
