Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question.  I assume the minister is telling the Senate that he is unaware of Labor members and senators around parliament complaining about having been excluded from the carbon tax decision. I ask the minister: given this broken ‘no carbon tax’ promise will now push up the cost of living for all Australians, can the minister explain why the Prime Minister is hurting working families just to make the Greens happy?
