My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Energy, Senator Carr. I refer to Woodside’s statement today that the government’s new tax on gas will result in a $2½ billion increase in costs being passed on to consumers. Faced with this evidence, will the government now drop this harmful tax which will hurt families, businesses and pensioners in Western Australia?
