My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to analysis by Macquarie Research Economics that shows high level of emissions intensity within the electricity supply sector and to previous statements made by the Greens and Professor Garnaut that compensation to electricity generators would be 'counterproductive'. Will the minister confirm whether there will be any compensation at all provided to electricity generators under Labor's proposed carbon tax?
