My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.

I don't rule out the possibility of legislating a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, a market-based mechanism.

If you complain, you’re ‘playing the victim’; if you don’t complain, you are a victim.

We encourage China to engage as a good global citizen and we are clear-eyed about where differences do lie.

Through hard work and education, we can deliver a strong economy and opportunity for all.

If we change the way the electricity sector operates, we can bring down our levels of carbon pollution, and continue the crucial task of tackling climate change. Putting a price on carbon would do this.

Including everyone in the economic, wealth-creating life of the nation is today the best way for Labor (Australian Labor Party) to meet its twin goals of raising national prosperity and creating a fair and decent society.
