Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:38): Those of the 'there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead' party hardly come into this debate with any credibility when it comes to honouring promises to the Australian people. The leader of the opposition can turn her chair around because we know well and truly who was the architect of that disastrous Labor policy. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I have not given you the call, Senator Moore, for one reason. When there is silence I will give you the call. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order relating to relevance. It was a specific question about a promise. We are waiting to hear that answer. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order at this stage. I believe the minister is addressing the question. The minister still has 36 seconds remaining. Senator ABETZ: I can understand the Labor Party's sensitivity in relation to the 'no carbon tax' promise because that was the issue on which they lost the last election, and they are still going to stand in the way of its repeal in this place, in the event that media stories are correct. Coming to the specific issue of education, can I indicate to the honourable senator and leader of the opposition that we are a party—I have said this before and I will continue to say it—that has every intention of keeping our promises.
