Mr O'DOWD (Flynn) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, whose alias is 'the rumour buster'. Will the minister update the House on the impacts of the carbon tax on Australian agriculture? What action has the government taken to address these impacts and boost our international competitiveness? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I call the Minister for Agriculture, and we will have some silence to hear the answer.
