My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the comments of Mr Brad Page, head of the Energy Supply Association, who said:

Any additional cost that is imposed on fuels, coal, and therefore the cost of electricity, will one way or another be passed through to consumers.

Why should Australian families already struggling to meet the increased cost of electricity prices be forced to pay more for electricity because of your great big new tax on mining?
