Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:28): Thank you, Senator Grogan. Unfortunately, there are a range of threats, and not always from the sources that you would expect. The truth is that Australia is starting way behind where it should, largely as a result of the Greens voting with the Liberals and Nationals against the CPRS in 2009— Honourable senators interjecting— S enator WATT: I'd be pretty embarrassed about that too! And, of course, it's also due to a decade of inaction from those on the other side. Now the Greens are faced with the same choice 14 years later, and I say to the Greens senators: do you really want to find yourself sitting next to Senator Rennick, Senator Antic, Senator Canavan, Senator Hanson, Senator Roberts and all of those other people who say that climate change isn't real? Do you really want to be sitting next to them when this comes to a vote in the next fortnight, or will you be on the right side of history? Will you listen to the appeals of groups like the Carbon Market Institute, the Investor Group on Climate Change, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the Climate Council, who all say that this whole Senate should back the safeguard mechanism? (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: I remind you, Senator Watt, to please direct your comments and answers to the chair.
