Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to comments by the Treasurer on Sky News last November in which he said, ‘We can’t guarantee that no-one will be worse off under the ETS.’ How can the Labor government claim to have an effective compensation package if they do not know or will not even say exactly how many Australian families will be worse off?
