I have said the government is working its way through all these issues to design the scheme. We do that in good faith. We do it in the national interest. What this is all about from those opposite today is to cover over the very deep divisions that we have seen on their side of politics—deep divisions over tobacco, deep divisions over tax, deep divisions over climate change—which have been all too apparent out there in the papers day after day. That is what we have—a smokescreen to cover up for the fact there is no alternative economic policy and no vision for the future of the country whatsoever.
