I will take the interjection, Senator Wong. Where is the $4 billion coming from? Are you going to pluck it off the fruit trees? We have already seen the holes in that. Why wasn't it in this year's budget? Come Sunday we will see and hear a lot about it. And what effect will it have on CO2 emissions around the world? It will have absolutely zero effect but it will drive industries overseas and it will cost jobs. The Australian Labor Party used to stick up for the worker once; the worker is the last person they ever think of these days.
