Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Why can’t the minister explain without the partisan barbs or politicking why her position on the Copenhagen summit and rushing Australia’s ETS legislation is contrary to that of leading UN and US spokespeople on climate change? Why won’t the government just step back, take a deep breath, see what happens at Copenhagen and use the extra time to consider better alternatives?
