QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:26): I'm not sure whether that question was written by Duncan Turpie, because we know that the Greens like to talk about donations but they don't like to talk about donations that they receive. We know the Greens don't like gambling, but they do like taking gambling donations. We know the Greens like talking about native forests, but then they're split about whether they want to protect those native forests.

Labor, on the other hand, is actually taking the action that the Greens are calling for, by investing in recycling facilities and increasing our amount of recycling capacity by 1.3 million tonnes per year. We are getting on with the job. We're not sitting on the sidelines throwing stones and we're certainly not holding hands while we disagree amongst ourselves.
