Mr FRYDENBERG (Kooyong—Minister for the Environment and Energy) (14:46): The Leader of the House makes a very good point: we are not going to introduce a carbon tax. The Labor Party took another tax to the last election. Do you know who said that? The member for Hunter. The member for Hunter went on the Bolt program and was asked the question: Can I go back to what you already alluded to? You said you can call it a tax. And the member for Hunter said: You can call it a tax if you like— The SPEAKER: The minister will resume his seat. The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order. Mr Burke: The point of order is on direct relevance. You do not get a question as specific in policy terms as what has been put here. In fairness to the minister, it was directed to the Prime Minister at the time, but there was no preamble. There is no politics in it. It is a straight question about their policy beyond 2020. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business can resume his seat. As the Manager of Opposition Business well knows, even when there are two answers within the one question, the minister is entitled to a preamble. But the minister must now move to the substance of the question. Mr FRYDENBERG: It is uncomfortable for the opposition to know that Australia has met its Kyoto targets and is on track to meet our 2020 targets by 78 million tonnes. We have a 2030 target of 26 to 28 per cent, which is among the highest in the G20 on a per capita basis. We have a whole suite of policies, of which the 23½ per cent renewable energy target is one. We have an Emissions Reduction Fund, which has reduced emissions at a cost of abatement of just $12.10 per tonne. That is much better than the punitive carbon tax. We have ARENA, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the renewable energy target. We have a suite of policies, and we have introduced the Paris agreement into the parliament for ratification. Those opposite have given us the 'cash for clunkers'. They have given us the green loans. They have given us the pink batts. They have given us the carbon tax. (Time expired)
