a government on that side which denied the existence of climate change for years, locking in continued growth in Australia’s carbon pollution, which it has left for this government to put in place policies to turn around. What is interesting is to look at the range of things that those opposite have said about when they would announce their position. First they said they would announce their targets after Professor Garnaut’s report. Well, that was September last year. Then they said it would be after the Treasury modelling: October last year. Then they said it would be after the white paper: December last year. Then they said after their own Pearce review, which occurred last month. When will you actually announce a position? You do not have one. (Time expired)
