Could the minister explain what this clean energy legislation to repeal the carbon price means, in terms of the fuel tax rebate? I understand it means a windfall gain now to the big miners, in particular, but also to everyone else who benefits from the fuel rebate. Could he indicate to the parliament how many millions of dollars will now be given to the people who are beneficiaries of this fossil fuel subsidy?
