I do not expect the Labor Party to want to listen to anyone else’s point of view. The coalition is putting forward a viable alternative, with the interests of all Australians front and centre. The ball is in Labor’s court and history will judge Mr Rudd on this decision and the quality of his legislation.
In conclusion, this legislation should not be designed to cost Australian jobs, to export Australian jobs, to export Australian income or to export pollution to other countries who are not obliged to comply with the same stringent regulations that we are putting in place.
