Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney) (14:13): My question is to the Treasurer. I remind the Treasurer of the statement of Business Council of Australia president Tony Shepherd that: We are now seeing that the economy is not as great as it looked. I remind him of the statement of Toll Holdings chairman Ray Horsburgh that: There is a general reluctance to spend money. Will the Treasurer immediately help restore confidence by rescinding the five per cent increase in the carbon tax from next Monday?
