My question is to the Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism. I refer the minister to the Frontier Economics report released yesterday. Frontier’s analysis shows that, under the government’s emissions trading scheme, power bills for the average household will rise by up to $240 per year more than under Frontier’s proposal. Minister, why is the government so determined to ram through a flawed emissions trading scheme rather than discuss alternatives which will keep power bills for households lower?
