On indulgence, I wish to make a correction to an answer given in question time today. During question time, I noted that the member for Lilley had said a few years ago that it would be 'hilarious' if Labor brought in a carbon tax. For the record, his actual words were something different. His exact words from the transcript of Meet the Press for 15 August 2010 were:

… what we rejected is this hysterical allegation that somehow we are moving towards a carbon tax.

I would not want to in any way sell the member for Lilley short, and I am happy to have corrected the record.
