My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. Is the minister aware of comments by the Chief Executive of Australia's largest power generator, Macquarie Generation, that as a direct result of Labor's carbon tax electricity prices will rise by more than the Gillard government has let on? Is this why the Minister for Resources and Energy, Mr Ferguson, said earlier this week that Labor's carbon tax could be to our disadvantage as a nation?
