I will most certainly clarify what I would like to know, because the minister is quite correct—there is a very big difference between the electricity impact on households and the electricity impact on farming enterprises. It is entirely different. My apologies to the chamber if I was not clear. I would like know: leaving household electricity increases aside, what is the average cost increase per farm of the electricity increases that are going to occur as a result of the carbon tax?
