My transfer fee is too high; they can't afford me! I note in the press, and from overseas press, that there is serious fraud in Europe in the carbon market. I note that the Australian Federal Police have already moved to set up a fraud squad for the carbon market. Could the minister, given the legislation is before the parliament, explain why the government has found it necessary to already start a fraud squad for the carbon market?
