Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:03): The government's carbon pricing scheme is an internationally linked scheme. That is absolutely true. The reason for doing that is to ensure that Australian businesses can buy carbon abatement for the least possible cost. The Leader of the Opposition, to the extent that he has bothered at all to deal with a policy in this area—and because of his negativity he has not really dealt with a policy solution—has said that they would not internationally link any arrangements if he were ever Prime Minister. That is a recipe for ensuring that Australian businesses pay a greater cost per tonne of carbon pollution abatement than they would under an internationally linked scheme. The Leader of the Opposition is known for wandering around criticising the government's carbon price as too high. What, of course, he has never told— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume her seat. The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order? Mr Pyne: The Prime Minister could not have been asked a more factual question. It simply relied upon an answer: yes or no. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat! The Prime Minister will return to the question before the chair. Ms GILLARD: The answer to the Leader of the Opposition's question is: yes, our scheme is internationally linked. That is best for Australian business. It gives them the lowest possible costs of adjustment. The Leader of the Opposition stands for a scheme which would charge Australian businesses a far higher price and as a result would impose on Australian households a bill of $1,300 per year. We stand for a lower cost scheme and a cleaner future. (Time expired) The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition is seeking to table a document? Mr Abbott: Yes, it shows that Australia's domestic emissions rise from— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is the Leader of the Opposition seeking to table a document? Mr Abbott: 578 million to 621 million tonnes under the carbon tax. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat! Is leave granted for the document to be tabled? Leave is not granted.
