Mr HUNT (Flinders—Minister for the Environment) (15:07): I want to thank the member for Corangamite, who voted to repeal the carbon tax because we had, as the Prime Minister said, a mandate to repeal that carbon tax. The Australian people voted for us to have the capacity to repeal the carbon tax, and the members of the government did just that. So today we have had noise from the opposition, some sort of concerns after they themselves voted to oppose repealing the carbon tax. I seem to have some information from the member for Corangamite's own electorate, received just this week. It is a letter from Australian Lamb on the abolition of the carbon tax: Dear Sarah, we estimate that due to the recent abolition of the carbon tax we will save approximately $200,000 per annum. And the letter goes on: Situated in regional Victoria, this not only supports our business but supports the township of Colac as a whole. Ms MacTiernan interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Perth will desist! Mr HUNT: That is the reality. We have taken a policy to an election, we have sought a mandate, we have spoken to the Australian people, we have won that mandate and then we did what we said we would do: we brought repeal of the carbon tax to this place and we succeeded. And in towns like Colac, there are real world benefits. Right across Victoria, we saw a $3.1 billion hit over the last two years. Now that is gone and that means lower electricity prices and lower gas prices. It means a reduction of up to 12.4 per cent in electricity prices. It means a reduction of up to 10.5 per cent gas prices. These are things that have a real world impact on pensioners, seniors, farmers, manufacturing businesses and businesses such as Australian Lamb in Colac. Yet, there is a question whether or not there is a threat to this. There is. The stated policy, the declared policy, the intended policy of the Leader of the Opposition and the entire Labor Party is to bring back the carbon tax. It does not matter what they call it. It is to increase electricity prices, it is to increase gas prices and it is to put another $200,000 back onto the bill of Australian Lamb. That is their policy, that is their intent and that is their goal. We will not do that. We oppose a carbon tax—lock, stock and barrel. We oppose an ETS—lock, stock and barrel. We will not be bringing one back. They will. They are for higher electricity prices. We are for lower electricity prices. Mr Abbott: I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
