My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his answer yesterday when he suggested that people could go to Treasury documentation to find out the impact of the emissions trading scheme on electricity and gas prices. I inform the Prime Minister that I have here the 820 pages of Treasury documentation, which has to be downloaded and printed as it is not available in hard copy, which he expects Australian families to read. I ask the Prime Minister: why shouldn’t Australian families and small businesses believe that he is trying to hide the true cost to them of his great big new tax on everything, when he expects them to find answers to their legitimate questions in an 820-page document?
