I am coming to you. I will get there. I thank the member for Moore for the question. I recognise that he believes that what you say before the election should be consistent with what you say after the election. Today we have heard that the Labor Party said in Western Australia this morning before the Senate election that they were opposed to the carbon tax and today they voted to keep the carbon tax. That should come as no surprise. Before the 2010 election they said there would be no carbon tax and after the 2010 election they introduced, in partnership with the Greens, the carbon tax.
