Australian MP Clive Palmer revealed the carbon policy of the Palmer United Party on 25 June 2014. Palmer said that he would keep his promise to repeal the carbon tax. However, he wants associated climate programs to be retained and the Federal Government’s "direct action" policy to be dropped. He also demands an emissions trading scheme. Former US vice-president Al Gore, who supports global action on climate change, appeared at Parliament House with Palmer
