My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. I refer the minister to the Prime Minister’s statement in which she warned that families may have to wait months before they know how much the carbon tax will push up the cost of power and groceries. Why did the government make the announcement for a carbon tax, which will impact every single Australian, without actually designing it first?
