My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer. Household electricity prices, over nine years of corporatisation, have soared from $860 to $2,100. Petrol prices, following the refusal to mandate ethanol, soar 50 per cent above prices in Brazil and America. Whilst having the world's cheapest land, Australia pays the world's highest housing prices. With farm incomes falling disastrously and food prices rising and rising, can he explain why these real issues are not being addressed in this budget?
