Senator Milne, you and I will just have to agree to disagree. If there is one thing that the Greens and the coalition will not ever reach agreement on, it is our proposition to scrap the carbon tax, because you are fighting very hard to keep something alive that we want to remove from the Australian statute books. We want to remove it because it is bad for Australia, it is bad for Australian families and it is bad for the Australian economy.
