My question is to the Attorney-General. I refer the Attorney to the Australian Crime Commission's report Organised Crime in Australia 2011, which states:

In Norway, a group is being investigated for carbon tax evasion as part of a Europol tax fraud probe into allegations that up to five billion euros of revenue has been lost.

Cyber criminals also allegedly accessed European business systems and stole legitimate carbon trading permits, which were then sold on the open market.

Attorney, are these the same markets from which the government believes that Australians must purchase $3½ billion in foreign carbon credits by 2020?
