Mr President I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister confirm that the imposition of a carbon tax will significantly change all the key figures in last night's budget, including the revenue estimates, the spending estimates, the growth estimates, the employment estimates and the inflation estimates? Given their importance, can the minister please advise the Senate why the details of the carbon tax were not included in the budget? How can the budget documents have any credibility without them?
