by leave—I understand the remainder of my speech has been shown to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health and Ageing and she has agreed to let it go forward. I thank her for that. I seek leave to incorporate the remainder of my speech in Hansard.

Leave granted.

The remainder of the speech read as follows—

The Rudd government with ACTU backing is sending our exports into world combat with no covering fire. This is a time when we need all our competitive and financial horsepower to navigate the globe’s economic woes. I urge the Rudd government to delay the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, to put it on the backburner until the smoke clears on the international economic horizon.
