Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Was Mr O’Malley also correct when he said:

The proposed CPRS scheme unfairly discriminates against the Australian steel industry relative to international competitors. Without comparable global action, the CPRS becomes a compounding tax ... needlessly putting Australian steel jobs and investment at risk for no environmental benefit.

Will the minister now commit to not reintroducing her flawed and rushed emissions trading scheme legislation until after the UN Copenhagen meeting in December this year?
