In the House this afternoon the member for Grayndler said I had made comments on 18 January this year in relation to emissions trading. That is totally and utterly false. On 18 January 2006, I gave a speech at the University of California, Los Angeles. I made no mention whatsoever of emissions trading, other than the mention of AP6—which is a non-emissions trading vehicle. The speech was on energy security. I said there were two ways to go to energy security: one was for nation states to attempt to lock up energy supplies; and the other was for open markets and the trading of energy, not emissions. There was no mention of emissions.
