My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her pre-election statement that she would not seek to introduce a carbon price until a deep and lasting consensus had been achieved. How can she claim that such a consensus exists when she refuses to put it to the people, preferably at an election but, if not, at a plebiscite?
