My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I refer you to the New South Wales government analysis showing that households will pay an extra $300 a year for electricity if a carbon tax is introduced. For pensioners this will mean that the recent pension increase is largely taken up by higher electricity bills. Does the Prime Minister stand by her previous promises to ease cost of living pressures, and if so will she now abandon her government’s plans for a carbon tax?
