Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I note that the minister has not at any stage stated that there will be direct compensation to disability and not-for-profit groups. How can the minister claim that this carbon tax plan is fair when we know it will leave millions of small businesses, millions of households and millions of families worse off and, as highlighted by ACOSS, will even leave disability, volunteer and charitable service providers serving the most vulnerable worse off?
