We can be thankful that Senator Carr is not the shadow Attorney-General. If he spoke to Wind Power or the proponents he would know that they were told of the Biosis report publicly—I told the world about that report. They knew I had received the report and they went to court and said, ‘We want to force you to make the decision. Please make the decision and hurry up and make it.’ So I made the decision. The fact is that Wind Power did not seek a copy of the report and by their very own actions, which will humiliate Senator Carr, made it impossible for them to see the report. Senator Carr should perhaps go and read the facts. The reality is that Labor are totally confused on climate change policy. They are all over the place. The only policy they have is a new carbon tax to slug every Australian extra money for their fuel and power bills.
