And the carbon offsets as well! The complete contempt of those opposite for the institutions of government is eye-watering.

Today I also draw to the attention of the chamber that this is a pattern of behaviour that we have seen from those opposite in much of the stuff they've put through this place. They're all announcement and no substance. We've had piece after piece of legislation pushed through this place with: 'Don't worry about the details; we'll show them to you later. Don't worry about the detail; we've got it all covered.' Once again today we are having a bill pushed through here when there is absolutely no detail about something that potentially could have catastrophic effects on Australia and Australians. We know that around the rest of the world these sorts of interventions have never worked in the past. Why those opposite think they're going to work today is anybody's guess.
