My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the comments of the President of the Municipal Association of Victoria, Mr Bill McArthur, who said, If the carbon price is set at $25 per tonne, rate increases in excess of three per cent are likely.' What compensation will the government be providing to municipal councils, or will residents simply have to add rising council rates to their already stretched budgets?
