My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the legislation before the congress in the United States which excludes United States farmers from an emissions trading scheme but allows them to earn extra income from offsets. Prime Minister, why is the government determined to ram through a flawed emissions trading scheme that leaves Australian farmers far worse off than their United States competitors?
