My question is to the Treasurer. I remind the Treasurer of the statement of Business Council of Australia president Tony Shepherd that:

We are now seeing that the economy is not as great as it looked.

I remind him of the statement of Toll Holdings chairman Ray Horsburgh that:

There is a general reluctance to spend money.

Will the Treasurer immediately help restore confidence by rescinding the five per cent increase in the carbon tax from next Monday?
