Anybody who stands in the way of this investment and this certainty that the business community desperately need is standing in the way of future investment, future industries and future jobs, and they are on the wrong side of history. In being on the wrong side of history, the Leader of the Opposition is once again showing that he is more negative than Tony Abbott, more divisive than the member for Cook and less capable of learning the lessons of the wasted decade and the last few elections than anybody else in this place. The climate is changing, but this coalition never will. The Albanese government and this parliament will get on with the job of providing business the certainty that they need, in the interests of our economy, our environment and our country. That's why today is such an important day.
