My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, I refer to reports today that consumers will be forced to pay even more in GST, stamp duty, capital gains tax and even council rates as your carbon tax feeds into the price of almost every consumable item. Prime Minister, how much more will consumers have to pay in these extra taxes? Isn’t it true that there is no way to quarantine these impacts because the carbon tax applies and compounds at every stage of production?
