Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Is the minister also aware of analysis conducted by Frontier Economics which found that a carbon tax set at $25 a tonne would directly cost at least 45,000 jobs in emissions-intensive and trade-intensive industries in Australia alone? Can the minister guarantee there will be no job losses as a result of this great big carbon tax and can the government guarantee that no Australian will be worse off under the great big carbon tax?
