A speech a part of which is shown here.
You dont have to like what I or he says at times but its real enough.

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT (Senator Trood)—Senator Fielding, I think
you know the rules about the use of props.

Senator FIELDING—It is in Hansard. That is a chart that the Australian
public want to see. It is a chart that clearly the Rudd government does
not want people to see. It shows that carbon dioxide emissions have
skyrocketed, yet global temperatures have not increased the way the IPCC
predicted. To help people with the chart, imagine the black line is CPI
and the red line is your salary. You are going backwards. Quite clearly
you would be very unhappy if that was your salary. The government wants
to make you believe that the science is conclusive. I think we still
need to have this chart further debated. It is based on 15 years of
records. The global temperature chart may be an inconvenient fact to
those that refuse to have an open mind on climate change, but to many
Australians this global temperature chart is helpful and it allows them
to engage in a technical debate. For those people watching who find
charts hard to understand, as I said, think of the red line as if it was
your salary and the black line as if it was CPI.

Even if you put aside the science, the Rudd government does not seem to
acknowledge that its CPRS is a multibillion-dollar carbon tax. It is
economically reckless to agree to any CPRS before the Copenhagen climate
change conference, where the rest of the world will make up its mind on
how to deal with climate change. There are some estimates that the
government’s carbon reduction tax would be the equivalent of raising the
GST by 2½ per cent. But wait—it gets worse. Not only will we be paying
more tax; there will be more people without jobs. Frontier Economics
predicts 68,000 Australians will not be employed in rural and regional
Australia if the government’s plan goes through.

Who knows what the proposed amendments will do? According to the
government’s own numbers this new tax amounts to more than $12 billion
per year for industry. This is a cost which will be passed on to
ordinary Australians. It was reported in the Business Spectator recently
that the current legislation would have an $8 billion adverse impact on
four Latrobe Valley power generators which is offset by $2 billion in
current credits— a net enterprise value reduction of $6 billion. State
governments too will face a massive hole in their budgets as a result of
the scheme and will be $5.5 billion worse off by 2020. That means less
money for schools, less money for hospitals and less money for the
social services which so many Australians rely on.
Australian families will also be hard hit under the Rudd government’s
proposal. Electricity prices are still forecast—as I heard this morning
in Victoria—to double in Victoria. What will that do to households and
small businesses in Victoria? Council rates will also be affected and
will go up under the current plan. The Rudd government’s ETS has the
potential to cripple our economy and send families with their backs
already against the wall tipping over the edge. It is the sheer
arrogance of the Rudd government that is driving this debate at the
moment; it is not sensible public policy.

The Rudd government is playing politics with the lives of millions of
Australians by voting again on this issue now and trying maybe to force
an early election. Someone needs to tell the Prime Minister that there
are no prizes for going first on implementing an emissions trading
scheme—only losers! We are not playing a game here. We are talking about
a multibillion-dollar tax that will impact on real people’s lives and
jobs. There is a lot more at stake than the government seems to realise.
