My question is to the Treasurer. Is the Treasurer aware of independent research conducted by the National Farmers Federation which shows that an average Western Australian grain producer will be $36,000 a year worse off under the government's proposed carbon tax, even if agriculture is excluded? Does the Treasurer agree with the National Farmers Federation, which said today that this carbon tax will 'cripple the entire Australian agricultural industry' and should 'be rejected'?
