<P> A carbon pricing scheme in Australia , commonly dubbed by its critics as a `` carbon tax '' , was introduced by the Gillard Labor Government in 2011 as the Clean Energy Act 2011 which came into effect on 1 July 2012 . As a result of being in place for such a short time , and because the then Opposition leader Tony Abbott indicated he intended to repeal `` the carbon tax '' , regulated organisations responded in a rather tepid and informal manner , with very few investments in emissions reductions being made . The scheme was repealed on 17 July 2014 , backdated to 1 July 2014 . In its place the Abbott Government set up the Emission Reduction Fund in December 2014 . </P>
