Mr HUNT (Flinders—Minister for the Environment) (14:09): I am actually delighted to answer this question on behalf of the government because on this side we love the environment. We have had 62 questions on the environment and two in two years from our honourable friend on the other side with the very smart looking glasses. Let me say that he loves the environment so much that his questions have included migration, shipbuilding, marriage equality, health funding, education funding— The SPEAKER: The Minister for the Environment will return to the subject of the question. Mr HUNT: paid parental leave—and I could list a whole lot of others, but they have not been about the environment. But let me deal with this. Ms King interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat will cease interjecting. Mr HUNT: We are making dramatic and real progress under our approach to reducing emissions. It is actually working, because what we saw in the latest national inventory statement for the last quarter was that we had the lowest emissions since 2004 in trend and seasonal terms. They are the official national figures. They were released in the last few weeks. Where does this fit? In 2008, when their justification for the carbon tax was put down, they said there was a gap of 1.3 billion tonnes which had to be filled between 2012 and 2020. Then in 2013 they said it was a gap of 750 million tonnes. Then it became a gap which we discovered at 426 and then 236. And do you know what? Mr Ewen Jones interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Herbert is warned. Mr HUNT: Our latest projections are that we will achieve our targets. We will do it in a way which was never offered under them, because their only approach was higher electricity prices. We are doing this by reducing the cost of living on Australian families and reducing emissions. They increased the cost of living and they failed in any significant way to reduce emissions. I am, of course, not allowed to show props, but, between now and election day, every time I come to this dispatch box I will come and lay on the table the report Shorten did not want you to see: the ALP's $600 billion carbon bill. Every day I come to this dispatch box, that will permeate. We are reducing emissions without a carbon tax. The facts are they are the lowest carbon emissions since 2004, electricity prices are lower under us and we are reducing emissions. Under them, electricity prices are up and emissions are up. (Time expired) Mr Butler: The Prime Minister obviously is not aware of this modelling. I seek leave to table the modelling from RepuTex that indicates that emissions will increase by 20 per cent under Tony Abbott's direct action policy. The SPEAKER: Is it a newspaper clip? Mr Butler: It is a media release from RepuTex headed 'Safeguard emissions rules indicate significant disconnect'— Leave not granted.
