Gee, do you think they’ll get through it all by 3.45 (i.e in about 45 minutes time)? If it takes four hours for 7 amendments, it’ll take nearly five days for the remainder, even if they sit 24 hours a day!
Opposition and Greens senators have been putting a multitude of questions to Climate Change Minister Penny Wong on details surrounding the legislation, some of which have already been addressed.
The delaying tactics mean Labor’s hopes that there would be a Senate vote on the legislation by 1545 AEDT appear to have been scuppered.
Liberal senator Scott Ryan asked Senator Wong to clarify an answer already given to Greens senator Christine Milne about Kyoto units, which refer to certified levels of carbon emissions expressed in tonnes.
“With respect Senator Ryan, you’re doing a far better job than Senator (Julian) McGauran and Senator (Barnaby) Joyce yesterday in taking up a lot of time,” Senator Wong said.
“And that’s fine. We’ll continue to answer questions. You’re chasing every rabbit down every path.”
Yep. What a joke.
