Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:23): To the member's question, I absolutely confirm to him that I accept the science of climate change. I absolutely confirm to him that I accept that science, as I accept other scientific conclusions. Consequently that means that I understand that carbon pollution, in particular, is making a difference to our climate and so if we are to tackle climate change then we need to tackle carbon pollution in our atmosphere. It is that that has driven the government's policy about carbon pricing, because we believe that the cheapest, most effective way of reducing carbon pollution is by pricing it and we believe in terms of the government's carbon pricing scheme and Renewable Energy Target that the evidence is already in, that it is working to reduce carbon pollution. I absolutely accept the science and do not believe that it is possible for a person of reason to have any other view. Mr Albanese: Speaker, on a point of order, given the succinctness and the clarity of the Prime Minister's answer, in terms of the timing, we certainly would have no objection to the Leader of the Opposition stating his response. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will resume his seat. I have an objection under the standing orders. The Leader of the Opposition can make a comment at the end of question time; he cannot during question time. Mr Windsor interjecting— The SPEAKER: Member for New England, that was uncalled for! The member for Lyne has the call.
