This question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I ask the Prime Minister: given that the government’s refusal to negotiate or adjust its flawed emissions trading scheme has led to its defeat in the parliament today, will the Prime Minister now instruct its climate change minister to stop holding the nation’s renewable energy sector to ransom and accept the coalition’s position—to immediately separate the renewable energy legislation from the emissions trading legislation so the renewable energy legislation can be passed into law immediately?
