Wayne Swan (Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the shadow minister for his question. I cannot believe the hide of the shadow minister. They do not have a policy at all. We have a white paper, we have legislation in the parliament; they have no policy whatsoever. On 23 February the Leader of the Opposition said in the Australian that he stood for deeper cuts to Australia’s emissions. On the same day we had the shadow minister for infrastructure say that he stood for smaller cuts to Australia’s emissions. Of course, we also had Mr Robb earlier than that calling for a carbon tax and we had Senator Brandis saying there was no action at all. Confusion reigns supreme. Confusion reigns supreme when it comes to the CPRS and climate change more generally.
