Ms GEORGE (2:50 PM) —My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that the renewable energy project launched this month in China by his environment minister was funded under the clean development mechanism of Kyoto? Can the Prime Minister also confirm that if the project were controlled by an Australian company it would not have proceeded? Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that Australian companies are being forced offshore because of our isolation from the markets being created by the Kyoto protocol?


Mr HOWARD (Prime Minister) —In precise answer to the tail end of the question: no.
