Carbon Pricing


Ms MARINO (ForrestOpposition Whip) (15:18): My question is to the Treasurer. Will small-business operators of concrete trucks, bobcats and backhoes be exempt from the carbon tax on their fuel usage?


Mr SWAN (LilleyDeputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (15:18): I have outlined, and so has the Assistant Treasurer, those that would be exempt. I am afraid the members who are so serious about running their scare campaign have got a little while to wait yet to get all the detail, and I will be happy to talk to them about it when we have finalised the scheme. In the meantime they will continue with their outrageous scare campaigns and distortions, but I do not believe that the Australian people respect this sort of outrageous approach.
