My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. I refer the Acting Prime Minister to a bulletin from the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce titled 'Carbon tax to hit aircon gas'. It finds that because of the carbon tax the price of air-conditioning gas will increase by $30 per kilogram, from $22 to $52 per kilogram. Does the Acting Prime Minister expect this massive increase to be passed on to consumers or to be absorbed by businesses?
