House debates Questions without Notice
Climate Change
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer

My question is directed to the Prime Minister. I refer to the analysis released last week from environmental consultants Cambria which showed that Australia is forgoing $3.8 billion a year in investment opportunities because of the government’s failure to ratify the Kyoto protocol. How does the Prime Minister justify forgoing $3.8 billion a year in investment opportunities for the Australian economy?
John Howard Bennelong, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
If the shadow Treasurer believes that analysis he would believe anything.
