In the interest of other people having the opportunity, one would hope that the interjections would cease. However, I will just put on the record that I support the abolition of the carbon tax because I think it has been unsuccessful and has not achieved anything. I put on the record that I am looking forward to seeing the new suite of measures that the coalition is proposing to put forward. I hope that those in the chamber who have got any common sense will actually see the benefits and will try to implement a scheme that is a carrot and not a stick. We look forward to, maybe, moving forward. All of us agree that the best outcome for Australia is to deal with the issue of the climate challenges that we have ahead of us and stop making politics about it just because the carbon tax of those opposite has failed.
