It was a policy that that was explored but it was not introduced as legislation. We are not like you, Minister—you say there will be no carbon tax and then you turn around and introduce one. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. You want to tax carbon and now you want to tax cleaner fuel. Where does your hypocrisy end? There is a flow-on effect of this cost increase on the family home. For example, most taxis run on LPG. What you will be doing is increasing the cost of taxi fares. I am sure that your constituents out in Geelong will love you for increasing the cost of taxi fares.
