Mrs ANDREWS (McPherson) (15:04): My question is to the Minister for the Environment. I remind the minister that the carbon tax was a $7.6 billion hit on the Australian economy in its first year of operation, with no meaningful reduction in emissions. Will the minister explain why the carbon tax must be repealed immediately? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I hope the member for Flinders was able to hear the question, because I had difficulty. Did he hear the question?
