Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:41): Again, we have a range of misstatements in that question. I think I have refuted them in my responses to the first question and the second. We simply do not agree with the propositions that the senator is putting. I am happy to deal with the second part of his question, which is essentially the assumption or the false proposition that no-one else is doing anything. Again, I remind him that Australia's top five trading partners, and another six of our top 20 trading partners, are implementing or are piloting carbon-trading or taxation schemes, something that those opposite simply want to airbrush out of the economic debate. The simple proposition is this: does anybody really believe that you can be a first-class economy in the 21st century without moving to a low-pollution economy? I do not believe so and our competitors do not believe so. It appears the National Party is living in the past. (Time expired)
