Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that Treasurer Roozendaal also warned of extreme job losses in the electricity and coal sectors as a result of the government’s flawed emissions trading scheme, why won’t the government even consider alternatives to its flawed CPRS that will save jobs, such as the cheaper, greener and smarter ETS options put forward by Frontier Economics? Why is the government so arrogant to assume that it has a monopoly on insight and wisdom in this area?
