My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to the confirmation given by the Prime Minister last week that, if Labor is re-elected, the carbon tax will be expanded to include coverage of heavy on-road vehicles—truckies—from 1 July next year when the carbon tax will increase to $25.40. Will the minister inform the Senate exactly how much extra truck operators will be paying per litre of diesel in 2014-15 under Labor thanks to the continued expansion of the carbon tax?
