My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the statement of the Australian Council of Social Service that:

Many welfare service providers spend disproportionately on essential goods and services likely to be impacted by a carbon price, notably energy and food.

Is it correct that, as ACOSS has claimed, Labor's carbon tax plan does not even recognise, let alone address, the impact of the carbon tax on the disability, community and welfare sectors?
