Clive Palmer has supported the Government in its renewed bid to repeal the carbon tax after a key amendment was
"reworked" and legislation reintroduced to Parliament.
Last week the Palmer United Party (PUP) skewered the Coalition's attempts to scrap the tax, claiming the Coalition had
"double-crossed" them over a condition that power savings be passed on to
consumers.
But Mr Palmer says the legislation and the amendment is now satisfactory, voting with the Government when the bills passed the Lower House this evening after abstaining in previous
votes.
"Palmer United supports the bill and the amendment that will be brought forward," he told Parliament before the
vote.
