Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Minister for Families and Social Services, Minister for Women's Safety and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:18): I think that the statement that Senator Cox just made is completely inaccurate and I completely refute it. I don't believe that everybody believes the statement that you've just put forward to the chamber. In fact, I think that most reasonable Australians actually understand that good governments can balance out making sure that we look after our environment but at the same time make sure that our economy is strong, because a strong economy supports all Australians, and that includes people who live in rural and regional Australia as well as those who live in the cities. We know that our gas-fired recovery is extremely important for Australia. We will do it in a responsible way that doesn't damage the environment. We will not do it in a way that damages Australian businesses, puts jobs on the line and— The PRESIDENT: Senator Rice on a point of order? Senator Rice: My point of order is on relevance. Senator Cox's question was very clear: how are you going to offset the emissions? The PRESIDENT: I cannot direct the minister how to answer a question. I believe the minister was being relevant to the question. Minister, you have the call. Senator RUSTON: To the interjection, or the point of order, the same way that we always do—that is, responsibly and via a regulated mechanism.
