I would like to ask the minister, while the opportunity arises: has the government costed what a carbon tax will cost the childcare industry? While you are here, you may, while answering that question, also answer if you can: what is the additional cost on, say, Catholic nursing homes, hospitals and so forth? Maybe you do not have that information with you, but you should have the information on how much it will cost, additionally, to heat and light all the childcare centres in Australia.
