I want to refer the government to the revenue measures contained within the carbon tax, and in particular the gross figures of approximately $36 billion to be raised. Will the minister confirm that if the price of the government's carbon tax falls below the $29 predicted for the first year of a floating price—and I will remind the House that that price is predicted to be $29, multiple times more than the current European price of approximately €6.9 as of today—that there will be a significant budget black hole?
