What I was trying to assist Senator Joyce with was what the government has made clear, which is that families, tradies and small businesses will not pay a carbon price on petrol—not now or in the future—and that is a commitment relating to petrol, diesel and LPG for passenger motor vehicles and light commercial vehicles. The Prime Minister has outlined the reasons why. But, in relation to further details, obviously these will be available after the government has announced them. (Time expired)
