Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:48): First—and I am sure this was a slip of the tongue from Senator Boswell—I am obviously not the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. Senator Abetz: No, not anymore. Senator WONG: That is right, because I am the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: I am trying to assist Senator Boswell with— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: The congratulatory terms around the chamber are very interesting, but I cannot hear Senator Wong. Senator WONG: In relation to the issue of what is occurring in China—and I have had this discussion with Senator Boswell at length in Senate estimates and in this chamber—his proposition, which I think was also included in the question about where China is going in terms of dealing with its carbon emissions, is not one the government shares. I have made the point previously that China has— Senator Boswell: Mr President, I raise a point of order. I asked about a Vivid Economics report and the response from the Climate Institute and the department of climate change. I am not interested in a diatribe that Senator Wong and I have had across the floor on many occasions. I ask you to rule that she answer the question that I have asked about Vivid Economics. The PRESIDENT: Senator Boswell, I consider the minister is answering the question. The minister does have one minute and 14 seconds remaining to continue her answer. Senator WONG: I have to say that there might have been times when accusing me of a diatribe was close to the truth, but perhaps not in response to this particular question. I was simply making the point that China has the world's largest installed renewable energy generation capacity, that China has indicated its intention to introduce an emissions trading pilot scheme in a number of provinces, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, and the World Bank has indicated there is a prospect of these schemes being expanded to a national scheme by 2015. In relation to the detailed information that the senator has sought about what was said by whom and when, between a particular non-government organisation and the department of climate change, unsurprisingly I do not have that information to hand. I will certainly see if there is anything further that can be provided to the senator. But I would again say that the senator has a long history of asserting nothing is happening internationally. With respect, we believe he is wrong and I think the facts demonstrate that he is not correct.
