My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Conroy. Is it a fact that the government has included $12.99 billion in extra revenue from the proposed CPRS in its forward estimates but has not offset this by including a similar amount on the expenditure side? Does this mean the government is walking away from its undertaking in its own white paper that it will ‘reinvest every cent it raises through the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme’ by returning it to households and businesses?
