My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to the Treasurer to Aarons Linen Service, a business in my electorate which currently employs 200 people. They have estimated that their costs will increase by approximately $1 million per annum under a carbon tax. What compensation will the government be providing to businesses like Aarons Linen Service or will they simply have to shed staff to stay in business?
