My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer her to page 77 of Professor Garnaut's latest report—and I hope she listens carefully to this—which says:

That is the quote from Professor Garnaut. I ask the Prime Minister: how can she possibly maintain the pretence that only a thousand big polluters will pay her toxic tax?
