My question without notice is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this price list from Heatcraft, which shows refrigerant prices for 404(a) are rising from over 300 per cent—from $92 a kilogram to $377 a kilogram due to the carbon tax. Does the Prime Minister expect coolstore owners, food distribution centres, refrigeration and air-conditioning contractors, and the fishing industry to absorb this massive increase or pass it on to the consumers through higher prices?
