The Australian Government appears to have secured a compromise deal with Clive Palmer to abolish the carbon tax. The Government has agreed to Palmer’s requirement that the energy sector will be the only industry that would be subject to a disclosure regime regarding the carbon tax and the cost saving arising from its abolition. The Government hopes to put the carbon tax repeal legislation to the Senate on 14 July 2014
