My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind her of President Obama's statement that the US will not introduce a carbon tax, nor even take part in an emissions reduction treaty, unless emerging economies like China and India are included. I also remind her that the Canadians confirmed at CHOGM that they reject any form of carbon pricing and, further, that Minister Combet admitted last week that Japan and Russia will not take part in the second round of the Kyoto protocol. Given that the government assumes, and I quote, 'comparable carbon pricing in other major economies from 2015-16,' when will it redo its modelling to reveal the increased cost of its carbon tax to Australia's forgotten families?
