At the request of Senator Abetz, I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the comments of various industry figures that the Rudd Government’s so-called consultation with the industry over the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is a ‘one way street’;

(b)

agrees with Tasmanian Labor Premier, Mr David Bartlett, who said that the Prime Minister (Mr Rudd) and the Minister for Climate Change and Water (Senator Wong) have ‘got it wrong’ on their proposed emissions trading scheme; and

(c)

calls on the Rudd Government to make consultation over the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme a ‘two way street’ and ensure it does not drive Australian jobs offshore.

Question negatived.
