In a move that would make it easier for the conditions necessary for emissions trading to be met, Mr Palmer has dropped India from a list of countries that would have to take broad action on climate change before an Australian scheme would kick in. He has also relaxed the conditions that must be met by the US, China, the European Union, Japan and South Korea for a scheme to be launched. The Palmer United Party is hopeful Labor and the Greens will back the scheme in the Senate because the PUP proposal largely replicates the architecture of the carbon price passed by the Gillard government.

Neither Labor nor the Greens would comment on the latest PUP proposal on Thursday.
