Thank you, Mr Deputy President. I was addressing the motion, and making a statement in relation to it because the Greens deliberately had not spelt out exactly what the motion was about. What we know when it comes to the Greens is that you actually need to look behind the motion. This motion is nothing more and nothing less than code for the type of consumer boycott and intimidation campaigns that GetUp! have been running—for example, against Harvey Norman—or the one threatened by GetUp! against companies represented by Kate Carnell of the Australian Food and Grocery Council. They are merely thinking of joining the anti carbon tax group, but the Greens, in this motion, are too gutless to spell that out.
