    Carbon PricingKerry-Lynne Findlay (Conservative) asked Jonathan Wilkinson (Liberal). loaded question.The answer attacks the opposition's market beliefs rather than addressing when the tax will be scrapped.I do find it odd, however, that the party opposite, which professes to be a party that believes in the market, rejects a market mechanism, which is the most efficient way to reduce emissions, in favour of a more expensive regulatory approach or perhaps just an aspirational one.
27. partly answered
