Greg Hunt (Flinders, Liberal Party, Minister for the Environment) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Reid for his question for two reasons: firstly, because he bothered to ask a question about the environment. The shadow minister for the environment has given up. He will ask questions about defence. He will ask questions about education. But in almost two years he has barely asked two questions on the environment and has given up. The second reason I want to thank the member for Reid is that he voted to repeal the carbon tax, and that has meant real benefits to people in his electorate. He knows a little bit about this topic because he comes to this House as a small business owner and a publican. Therefore, he is somebody who has dealt with the cost of refrigerants.
