Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Climate Change and Water) Share this | Hansard source

The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Senator Cormann? Senator Cormann may have forgotten that he went to the last election as a Liberal Party candidate promising to take action on climate change and promising to bring in an emissions trading scheme. I would like to remind those opposite that former Prime Minister Howard very recently described the scheme before this chamber as being very similar to the one that he would have put in place.
