I will not be supporting that amendment. I think the explanation from the minister seemed to be relevant to me. I know the debate has been very wide-ranging and I wanted to come back to an issue. On 4BC Drive on 30 November 2009 Senator Joyce was quoted as saying in reference to my royal commission, ‘He wants a royal commission into climate change, which I’ve got no problems with.’ He then goes on to say, ‘Then a productivity commission as well, which is a completely separate issue, which I would support.’ I am worried about whether what he is saying was true yesterday but not today.
