I ask a supplementary question, Mr President. Minister, hasn’t Australia’s international reputation been tarnished by the Howard government’s failure to ratify the Kyoto protocol? How on earth can the Australian people expect the Howard government to address the challenges of climate change when so many members of it deny it is actually a problem? Isn’t it time that Australia got a government that can address the problems of today and tomorrow, not one that is stuck in the past?
