Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:33): A question based on a falsehood and a supplementary question based on a falsehood—why is it that the Leader of the Opposition cannot tell the truth when it comes to climate change? Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! Ms GILLARD: Let us go to the truth of what Professor Garnaut said. This is the truth, and I say to those members opposite who are yelling, who may have been misled by the falsehood that their leader just spoke in this parliament: this is what Professor Garnaut said. Professor Garnaut is proposing, in terms of governance arrangements around a carbon price, the following. He is proposing an independent committee which would not set targets or price— Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sturt is now warned. Ms GILLARD: but would make recommendations to government. I will just run those words past everybody again so we do not hear this falsehood repeated by the Leader of the Opposition. This misrepresentation of Professor Garnaut should stop here. Professor Garnaut said the independent committee would not set targets or price but would make recommendations to government. Under his proposal the setting of targets and scheme caps is something that would remain firmly under the democratic control of the government of the day. The Leader of the Opposition today has come in and he knows he cannot debate carbon pricing based on the facts. He is peddling falsehoods and he is peddling fear, because he is a man with no belief in the science and no answer on the policy. No-one should believe these falsehoods. The Leader of the Opposition should stop distorting Professor Garnaut's words. He really owes Professor Garnaut an apology for this conduct.
