My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that Australia will not have full voting rights at all sessions of the UN climate change summit in Bali in December because the government still refuses to ratify the Kyoto protocol?

Can I say to the Leader of the Opposition that it is more important to do the right thing by Australia than to have full voting rights at a meeting.
