Deputy Leader of Opposition Speech - Grand Final

Erin O'Brien on behalf of Queensland A:

Apparently there is embarrasing gossip about Ranald, which has found its way into the collective memory of the Australasian debating community ...

- Flexibility should not be part of a system to save the World ... huhm.

1. Credit systems have proven a failure.
- The sulphur dioxide system ... underpriced credits, and the scheme fell apart b/c people didn't want to trade. Moreover, clean coal destroyed the need ... example sorted.

2. Developing nations
- Perverse incentives ... with declining profits as and when the CO2 emissions fall.

3. Polluters should pay under a punitive system.
- Absolute responsibility on the part of the pollutor ... naja.
- Maybe we missed something, but where did that argument go ...
