I think Senator Abetz, as I say, reveals himself in his questions—a low-level political attack with nothing to offer the Australian people in terms of policy and nothing constructive to say about any of the big policy issues of our time. The ALP is very proud of its reforms on carbon pricing. We absolutely think it is good for the economy and good for the environment. I will make a bet today: I bet that the Liberal Party, if they get their chance, will never, ever roll back the carbon price, because they will realise how important that reform is. So I am happy to see the Liberal Party twist on the positions they have got themselves to, because they will never, ever remove the carbon price in the Australian economy. (Time expired)
