MARK DREYFUS MP

I have returned to Australia with an even firmer resolve to work towards the introduction of a carbon price into our economy, and look forward to seeing the results of the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee's work to build parliamentary and community consensus to do that in this term of government.

I'm hoping that Greg Hunt and Tony Abbott stop the carping from the sidelines and instead join the Turnbull/Wooldridge/Baillieu choir this Christmas.

A fundamental goal of the Gillard Government is to continue building a stronger, broader and more competitive economy.
