There was a time when this Government and the Green Party used to talk a lot about peak things. They don't talk about that very often now, except peak short periods of time for the consideration of an important bill that is a fundamental part of the new emissions trading scheme and the carbon trading system. And we are being asked as a Parliament, as a select committee, to give it a very short consideration, with some submitters having been given a tip-off, a nod and a wink by the Minister weeks in advance that this was coming and others not.
