Given that the Gillard government—and Minister Wong just now—are claiming that CO2 emissions will fall, even though they are expected to increase, on the basis, if I understood the minister correctly, that emissions will be lower than they otherwise would be, will the Gillard government also accept then that real wages will fall because they also will be lower than they otherwise would be?
