My question is also to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the recent COSBOA small business survey which shows that the majority of small businesses are concerned about the government’s $114 billion emissions trading scheme, described in three lines and one dot point in their pre-election policy, pushing up their costs. In light of his massive gas and electricity price rises, will the Prime Minister tell the average dry-cleaning business how much more it will cost them to run their business with the addition of his new tax on everything?
