Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Did the Prime Minister not know that the Greens were extreme when just before the election, given the prospect that they would gain the balance of power in the Senate, she promised that there would be no carbon tax under a government led by her? What excuse can there be for the Prime Minister now breaking her promise of no carbon tax and adopting the extreme Greens policy?
