My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. Could the minister explain why the government has exempted petrol but not electricity from its carbon tax even though electricity is a critically important service for families and businesses and is responsible for significant cost-of-living pressures?
