Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:39): I thank the senator for her question. It deals to a great extent with the same issues that her colleague asked previously. As I have explained, the government has put in place a very significant set of assistance whereby nine out of 10 households will receive some assistance through tax cuts or payment increases; about two out of three households will get payments or tax cuts that cover their entire average impact; and about four million households will get an extra buffer with assistance that is at least 20 per cent more than the average price impact. In addition, there are a range of benefits and opportunities for regional Australia under the package. The Carbon Farming Initiative will enable farmers to benefit. Obviously the carbon price does not apply to agricultural emissions, but there are opportunities through the Carbon Farming Initiative. We are also investing, as the Senate would know, to unlock the potential of clean energy in our regions in solar, in wind, in geothermal—all investments that are about clean energy jobs. In addition, there are some $4.3 billion of investments in regional Australia in the 2011-12 budget. Let us just pause for a minute to recognise that: $4.3 billion investments in regional Australia— Senator McKenzie: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. I specifically asked about the Regional Structural Adjustment Assistance Package. It is on page 59 of the Securing a clean energy future. I wanted to ask about the modelling that had been done to ensure that $200 million was going to be enough to cover those regions that are acutely affected by the carbon tax. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. I believe the minister is answering the question. The minister still has 42 seconds remaining to address the question. Senator WONG: It is a little embarrassing, isn't it, because there is so much assistance to regional Australia that this government is providing. They do not want to hear about the budget and the investment in hospitals and schools in regional Australia. I thought you represented regional Australia, Senator. Don't you want to hear about the investments there? You want to just ignore them. You want to pretend that this is a carbon price that is being put in without regard whatsoever to over $4 billion being invested in regional Australia— Senator Joyce interjecting— Senator WONG: Funding that you never could get, Senator Joyce. I do not know whether you have got something wrong with your neck—there is some very strange movement. You could never get that when you were in government for your constituents.
