My question is to the Prime Minister. Are you aware of comments by the head of Queensland company Zarraffa's Coffee that:

… it won't be long before coffee is an expensive commodity as we shoulder carbon tax impacts across transport, power, rents and so on.

How does the Prime Minister expect this company, with its over 50 stores, to remain competitive and to continue to invest in Queensland when the CEO himself warns that the carbon tax may be the final undoing of many small to medium businesses?
