Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the minister explain how spending $3.5 billion of taxpayer's money, which will be raised in the form of higher electricity charges to purchase foreign credits, amounts to cleaning up the Australian economy, as claimed in its advertising campaign? Given the nature of this, when will the government withdraw its misleading and expensive advertising campaign to do with this carbon tax?
