Question Time

Carbon Tax

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Does the minister support the abolition of the carbon tax?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:02): The position of this government, which is the same position that our party has actually promoted in the national parliament, is that we do support the abolition of the carbon tax.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Listen carefully.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: That's right. That was the position that both major parties took to the last federal election.
