Mr President, I have a second supplementary question. Why does the Gillard government think it is appropriate that 23 million Australians are being asked to pay 20 times as much carbon tax than more than double that number of people across these 10 US states that I mentioned? Does the government really not understand that this is pushing up our cost of living and our cost of doing business by so much more than any other scheme around the world, including the one in the United States that I mentioned?
