My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. I refer the Acting Prime Minister to Brisbane City Council's statement that the world's biggest carbon tax will add 1.9 per cent to every resident's rates, or more than double the figure he told the House yesterday that councils should need to raise their rates by. How does the Acting Prime Minister reconcile that with this letter from the Parliamentary Secretary for Industry and Innovation to Brisbane councillors claiming that they were exaggerating the impact of the carbon tax?
