A supplementary question to the Prime Minister: I refer the Prime Minister to this Australian government transport fact sheet dated July 2008, which states:

Excluding petrol would not lead to lower costs for households—to the contrary, any abatement that would otherwise have come from the transport sector will have to occur elsewhere and at higher cost.

I ask: doesn't the Prime Minister's own fact sheet prove that, whatever the spin, Australians will pay more for everything under her carbon tax?
