Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:10): I thank Senator Ronaldson for that supplementary. The government have put in place, and are putting forward in Paris, an emissions reduction target range of 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Our targets are appropriately ambitious and responsible, and they are achievable because we have got a plan to deliver them. At the heart of that plan is our emissions reduction fund, which actually will help to reduce emissions in Australia in a way that will achieve a net reduction in emissions around the world. Senator Lines interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Lines! Senator CORMANN: The emissions reduction fund will actually help to deliver emissions reductions in Australia without shifting jobs to other parts of the world, without undermining the competitiveness of Australian industry. It will help to deliver emissions reductions at the lowest possible cost while actually encouraging stronger growth and the creation of more and better jobs. Senator Ronaldson: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I asked a very serious question and I cannot hear the minister's answer. The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator Ronaldson raises a very good point of order. The noise is unacceptable and I would ask senators to stop interjecting. Minister, you have two seconds left. Senator CORMANN: Our plan is environmentally effective and economically responsible.
