My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to comments of the Chairman of BlueScope Steel at the Press Club yesterday that China has a coal fired power system equal to more than 13 times Australia’s entire electricity generation and that between now and 2020 it is planning to add a further 60 per cent to its existing coal fired power generation. Why does the Prime Minister continue to insist, as she did yesterday in question time, that China is ahead of Australia in tackling climate change when she knows the opposite is true?
