Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Doesn’t the fact that the minister has broken her promise to have draft laws for the emissions trading scheme in place by the end of this year prove that the government’s 2010 deadline for the introduction of Labor’s flawed emissions trading scheme is unworkable? Will the government now listen to the advice of the opposition, of industry and of its own backbenchers and defer the commencement of the scheme beyond 2010?
