Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. It has the endorsement of Dr Bob Brown, who said that it is the best carbon tax in the world. I remind the minister of a statement she made when she was climate change minister, when she said that Australia should do no more and no less than the rest of the world. Is this still the government policy? Won't Australia be making close to 2½ times the effort of Europe when we have a carbon price that is $23 a tonne while Europe's—in all its glory—is only $9 a tonne?
