I apologise, Mr President. They are jumping on board with a question on an issue that is not factually correct. The Waxman-Markey bill before the United States Congress currently has a specific provision for border adjustments. So the bill that you want us to photocopy—that Mr Turnbull says we should hold off and photocopy after it has been passed through the US senate—contains a specific provision for border adjustments. What an own goal.
