Abbott prepared to listen on carbon tax: Palmer

Clive Palmer has emerged from talks with the Prime Minister, confident the carbon tax will be scrapped and savings to power prices passed onto consumers.
Late yesterday, Mr Palmer revealed his party's position that it would vote with the Coalition in the Senate to repeal the carbon pricing scheme, but only if lower power prices were locked in.
"I think we can work a solution out on carbon tax, we can ensure that electricity prices will come down for Australians. I think that's a positive thing," he said shortly after this morning's meeting.
The meeting was the first face-to-face talks between Mr Palmer and Tony Abbott since a falling out two years ago.
Mr Palmer wants to keep the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the renewable energy target, but will also push for a new emissions trading scheme.
