My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. Given that the Prime Minister has promised that Australian families will be $550 better off with the abolition of carbon pricing and your confirmation today that that $550-figure was from Treasury modelling, will you now admit that the $550-figure included $250 for food, clothing and rent and that these will not be covered by the government's pass-through provisions? Will you now admit that the $550-promise to Australian families is a lie?
