Pat Conroy (Shortland, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for International Development and the Pacific) Share this | Hansard source

How petulant can you be? How weak and passive can you be? That is your only defence: Labor was mean to you. Australians are already bearing the cost of this, and the cost will only rise higher—higher electricity prices, severe drought devastating rural communities, damage to iconic assets like the Great Barrier Reef, and health costs from heatwaves. The member for Melbourne and all the Greens have the blood of the planet on their hands. They betrayed the environment by teaming up with the dinosaurs in the coalition to vote down the CPRS 10 years ago to this day.
