Question Time

CARBON TAX

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): My question is to the Treasurer. Does he support the federal government's carbon tax?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (14:08): Of course; it is federal government policy and it is important. I know the climate change deniers on the other side do not accept climate change, but on this side of the house this government has a proud record of taking measures to try to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Mr Venning interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Schubert, you are warned.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I do not think that should be in any way controversial.
