My question is to the Assistant Treasurer and acting Treasurer. Will the Assistant Treasurer inform the parliament why the government ruled out a carbon tax before the election, but will now impose a carbon tax which increases the price of petrol? Why was a carbon price out of the question in August 2010 but is now a necessary government priority?
