It should have been her moment of triumph. On Oct 12, 2011 Julia Gillard, Australia's prime minister, beamed broadly as the lower house of parliament approved her minority Labor government's plan for a carbon price to fight climate change. The Senate is expected to endorse it next month, marking a turning point for Australia. After years of bitter political wrangles, Australia will start taxing its biggest polluters and pouring money into solar, wind and other renewable-energy sources. The very next day, Gillard was trounced in parliament on legislation dealing with asylum-seekers arriving in Australia by boat. As much as climate change, this issue has come to define her prime ministershipThe political chatter ever since has focused not on Gillard's carbon-policy victory but on her asylum-plan humiliation. Speculation has even revived about whether she can last as Labor leader and prime minister until the next election, due in late 2013.
