Australia's House of Representatives has narrowly passed a bill to introduce a controversial carbon tax. The legislation would force major polluters to pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit. The victory is an important one for Prime Minister Julia Gillard whose popularity with voters has been declining. She says that any delay would increase the cost of reducing Australia's carbon gas emissions. But the opposition has vowed to repeal the tax, saying it will cause job losses and raise the costs of living. Australia is the world's largest coal exporter and is one of the biggest per capita greenhouse gas emitters.
澳大利亚下议院以微弱优势通过了具争议的“碳税”法案。此法案将对主要碳排放企业（按单位每吨）征收碳税。这对支持率持续下滑的总理吉拉德来说无疑是一个重大成功举措。吉拉德表示任何原因导致“碳税”法案实施延迟，都将增加澳大利亚对碳气体整治成本。但反对派曾要求撤销此法案，他们认为此举将导致民众失业和增加民众的生活成本。澳大利亚是世界上最大的煤炭出口国，同时也是人均温室气体排放最大的国家之一。
