Carbon Pricing

My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. I refer the minister to his answer in question time yesterday regarding AJ Bush & Sons, in which he stated that the carbon price is:

… cutting their electricity bill in half.

Will the minister confirm that the carbon tax actually increased the liability of AJ Bush & Sons by up to $1.4 million all up and that the government had to bail them out with a $6 million direct grant?
