My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, the cost of getting people, vehicles and freight in and out of Tasmania is a very significant brake on our economic development. The cost of Bass Strait is also one of the easiest problems to fix, making the current situation all the more frustrating. Prime Minister, will you commit to a single and effective cost equalisation scheme for Tasmania covering all vehicles, passengers and freight, including exports bound for international markets?
