I can continue to say that what we do have is a system where on average the Australian carbon price will cost households $9.90 per week with average compensation of $10.10 per week. These are the official figures that have been calculated by the Australian Treasury. Of course, those opposite have not released any figures to substantiate. One of these areas you do not talk about is Mr Billson's claim that the EU ETS costs around $1 per person compared to around $400 per person in Australia.
