Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to a paper by the head of US President Obama’s National Economic Council, Lawrence Summers, who expressed concern about expenditures for climate change in economies where per capita income is in decline. Does the Prime Minister share the view that now is not the time to be introducing new taxes on Australian businesses through an emissions trading scheme, especially when those costs will not apply to their international competitors?
