I refer my question without notice to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to comments of Chris Hind, the chief operating officer at regional airline Rex: 'The timing of the carbon tax could not be worse. Rex will be forced to close many marginal regional routes.' Treasurer, what compensation will the government be providing to businesses like Rex or will Rex simply have to raise airline ticket costs to stay in business?
