In answer to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition's question, what I believe is that we have established a way of ensuring that this nation has a clean energy future. We have established a way of this nation tackling climate change. We have established a way that this nation will join 850 million other people around the globe who are covered by carbon-pricing schemes. We will ensure that in our nation, which is an emissions-intensive economy, we at the lowest cost possible begin a journey of change to a cleaner energy future.
