I concur broadly with the remarks of Senator Milne. I am quite sympathetic to Senator Joyce’s amendment. Some would say that it is mischievous in the sense that it has such a low level of commission, but I think the intent is good. There is real concern that the spivs might take over the carbon market, that the markets may be manipulated, when this is about reducing emissions. I indicate that I would rather support Senator Joyce’s amendment than not have any other framework in place.
Question negatived.
