I refer to the Prime Minister's comments yesterday that the carbon tax will not increase petrol prices for families, tradies and small businesses. Can the minister confirm that the electricity that oil refineries and service stations use will be exempt from the carbon tax? If not, won't the carbon taxes applied to these sectors increase the petrol price in contravention of the Prime Minister's promise?
