My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation, Science and Research, Senator Carr. I refer the minister to his statement on 1 October 2007 that industries need certainty for long-term investment and they need to know that an emissions trading scheme will not disadvantage them. In light of the minister’s statement, when will the government be in a position to provide certainty on the date when all the details of its carbon tax will be released, which industries it intends to compensate and the criteria it will use to determine that compensation?
