Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. We know what pipeline the Labor Party have put into Australia's economy. Given that the carbon price in Europe is just $6 per tonne, given that the minister cannot explain why persisting with the price will do anything to affect the climate, why is the government increasing our price from $23 per tonne to $24.15 per tonne? Why is this government putting Australian jobs even further at risk by paying this higher price?
