I want to thank the member for Corangamite, who voted to repeal the carbon tax because we had, as the Prime Minister said, a mandate to repeal that carbon tax. The Australian people voted for us to have the capacity to repeal the carbon tax, and the members of the government did just that. So today we have had noise from the opposition, some sort of concerns after they themselves voted to oppose repealing the carbon tax. I seem to have some information from the member for Corangamite's own electorate, received just this week. It is a letter from Australian Lamb on the abolition of the carbon tax:

Dear Sarah, we estimate that due to the recent abolition of the carbon tax we will save approximately $200,000 per annum.

And the letter goes on:

Situated in regional Victoria, this not only supports our business but supports the township of Colac as a whole.
