My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to reports from the Australian Food and Grocery Council that the government’s carbon tax will undoubtedly result in significantly higher food and grocery prices for Australian mums and dads and pensioners. Given this impact on families and given the worsening turmoil in international financial markets, will the Treasurer reconsider his rushed timetable for the introduction of an emissions trading scheme?
