This question comes ill from a member of parliament who wants to restore the carbon tax and hit all the small businesses of Australia with a massive hit on their power bills and all the households of Australia with a massive hit on their power bills. This is a government which supports small business, which believes in small business. It is a government which comes from small business, unlike members opposite, who all come from the ranks of union officials and party officials.

As for the measures that the Leader of the Opposition refers to, we are still considering the commencement date for the repeal of those measures and we will have more to say in due course.
