Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:06): Senator Carr, remarkably, the only parties in this parliament today that are trying to protect the profits of AGL are you and the Greens. It is the government that is trying to ensure that AGL does the right thing by the Australian people. Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr, you've asked your question. Senator BRANDIS: Senator Carr, if you want to know the difference between the government's approach to energy policy and your side's approach to energy policy it is this: we are committed to providing reliable power for all Australians—something which, when you were in power, you simply failed to. Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr! Senator BRANDIS: That is why in the six years when the Labor Party was in power, electricity prices more than doubled on your watch. And, to this day, you are wedded to this ideological opposition to coal and this ideological opposition to fossil fuels. Senator Kim Carr: You've got no idea! The PRESIDENT: Order! Point of order, Senator Hinch. Senator Hinch: Point of order, Mr President. From back here at the rear of the chamber, the voice of Senator Carr is louder than the person answering the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr, I have been— Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Carr! I have been calling you to order, Senator Carr. Attorney-General, you have two seconds. Senator BRANDIS: Affordability from us; ideology from you. That's the difference. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Farrell? Senator Farrell: I again seek leave to table a copy of the national partnership agreement and the schedule setting out projects funded in Queensland. I understand that is not opposed. The PRESIDENT: There being no objection, leave is granted. Senator Brandis: Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
