Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to the fact that the report—that same report—also showed that energy use and intensity in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet grew by nearly seven per cent from 2008-09 levels. If the Prime Minister cannot control her own department's energy use, why should she expect Australian taxpayers to shoulder the entire burden of this suffocating carbon tax?
