Australia passes controversial carbon pollution tax

Cheers and applause broke out as the Senate approved the Clean Energy Act by 36 votes to 32, requiring Australia's coal-fired power stations and other major emitters to "pay to pollute" from July 1 next year.

...I wonder if the folks who were cheering and applauding have any idea oabout who is actually gonna pay that tax. It will be neatly wrapped up in the electric bills of every person in Australia.
