“[People] voted for Labor members committed to pricing carbon, they voted for some independents and a Green member, many of whom are committing to pricing carbon,” she said.
“I believe in pricing carbon; it’s the right thing to do for this country’s future.

2. Republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich came out swinging Thursday night over their views on exploring space and dealing with Cuba, managing their personal finances and running their political campaigns in a debate five days before a pivotal Florida primary that may sort out their tumultuous competition.
Staying on the offensive through the two-hour forum, Romney accused Gingrich of “repulsive” and “over-the-top rhetoric” in a campaign ad that had labeled him “anti-immigrant.” He demanded an apology for what he called “highly charged epithets,” which Gingrich took off the air after Florida Sen. Marco Rubio complained.
