Mr president, I ask a supplementary question. I look forward to your answer, Senator Wong. Given that you could not explain how you dispute the figure of 23,000 job losses, Minister, can you please inform the Senate of what compensation will be paid to the tens of thousands of Australians whose jobs will be lost and destroyed in coming years if this carbon tax goes ahead, particularly those in my state of Victoria, which is going to be hit first and hardest by your carbon tax?
