Senate vote on carbon tax before midday
AAP
Senators will start voting on government legislation abolishing the carbon tax before midday on Thursday.
The government won crossbench backing to force an urgent vote, after rookie senator Ricky Muir crucially sided with his Palmer United allies.
As a result, votes on a package of eight repeal bills will begin at 11.50am (AEST).
