My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister seen the April 2006 report released by the Australian Business Roundtable on Climate Change, comprising Westpac, Origin Energy, Insurance Australia Group, BP, Visy and Swiss Re? Can the Prime Minister confirm that the report finds that 250,000 more jobs will be created if we act early to address climate change rather than if we delay? Isn’t this why on 19 December 1997 the Prime Minister said the Kyoto protocol was ‘a win for the environment and a win for Australian jobs’?
