The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has claimed that the government has plans to pay compensation to nine out of 10 households to help families absorb the cost of a carbon- emissions trading system.

Yesterday, the Prime Minister had claimed that she is willing to tackle climatic changes by imposing a price on carbon pollution, big polluters will pay. Besides penalty, she suggested to use the gathered money for offering support and assistance to Australian families.

“The price, of course, is going to be paid by the 1,000 big polluters”. Gillard notified the Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. “We are going to assist Australian families with tax cuts and increases in payments. The vast majority of Australians won’t pay an extra cent as a result of the price on carbon”.

A poll has suggested that the Prime Minister is looking for support for an emissions trading system in the world’s biggest coal exporter. Further, it has claimed a significant reduction, around 41%, in the number of Australians who acquires an opinion that the nation should take action.

Approximately 39% Australians, who casted their opinion in polls, have said that they are not prepared to pay anything extra for electricity bills, to help climate change.
