Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:23): I refer Senator Di Natale to the proposition that some of those scenarios that are put forward by the IMF would lead to a carbon tax in Australia of about $75 to $90 a tonne. And I can confirm for Senator Di Natale that this government does not support the reintroduction of a carbon tax— The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, a point of order? Senator Di Natale: Mr President, a point of order on relevance. I read a quote out and I asked whether the government accepts that quote. I didn't ask for the minister's opinion on a carbon price; I asked him specifically whether he accepted that testimony or thought it was negative globalism. The PRESIDENT: I asked senators, in the last session, to be careful about raising points of order on relevance that were in fact points of order about the nature of an answer to a question and not on relevance. I can't instruct a minister how to answer. The minister was being directly relevant and, in fact, in the point he was just outlining, I believe, he was extrapolating by referring to the report that you quoted. It is entirely directly relevant. Points of order are not to go to the nature of the questions; they go to whether they are directly relevant. Senator CORMANN: I am aware of the report. I have read the relevant parts of it. I can confirm again for Senator Di Natale that we don't support the proposition that Australia should consider a $75 to $90 a tonne carbon tax. We think it would be bad for our economy. It would be bad for the environment. All we would end up doing is shifting environmentally more efficient production into other parts of the world. We would shift jobs and shift emissions, and the world would be worse off at the same time as leaving the Australian people worse off. That is not our way to approach these things. That might be the Greens way, but that will never be our way. The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, a final supplementary question?
