My question is to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer confirm that under Professor Garnaut's proposal compensation for business will reduce from 35 per cent to 20 per cent over 10 years? How does the Treasurer expect struggling manufacturers to survive against overseas competitors who do not pay a carbon tax when the government is almost halving compensation for Australian businesses?
