Senator IAN MACDONALD (Queensland) (14:54): Mr President, I thank Senator Wong for the answer to that question, as Senator Ludwig should too, and I have a supplementary question. If I heard you correctly, Senator Ludwig, you said the government does stand behind the $29 per tonne carbon price for 2015-16, which is the modelling. Minister, if you believe it is going to be $29 per tonne in 2015, why is the government removing the $15 per tonne floor price?
