When those opposite tried to change the tax system, it was called the carbon tax. Another one they tried to introduce was, of course, the mining tax—a mining tax that raised no revenue. This is the level of genius on changing tax systems that we saw from those opposite. But, if I talk about their own carbon tax, we gave the Australian people the ultimate compensation for the carbon tax they put on: we abolished it. But, when they introduced the carbon tax, they put compensation measures in place and we actually kept those compensation measures.
