Senator CORMANN (Western Australia) (14:43): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to the story in the government's favourite newspaper this morning reporting that Labor's carbon tax is one of the main reasons why more Australian businesses are going to the wall than ever before. I refer the minister in particular to reports in the Daily Telegraph today that more than one business every hour is going to the wall across Australia now, corporate insolvencies are now 12 per cent higher than during the GFC— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Just wait a minute, Senator Cormann. Senator CORMANN: It gets them going, doesn't it? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! No, Senator Cormann, I do not need comment. Those on my right, Senator Cormann is entitled to be heard in silence. Senator CORMANN: Corporate insolvencies are now 12 per cent higher than during the GFC, with thousands of people losing their jobs, and factories which have stood for generations are forced to close their doors—all that, in large part, as a result of soaring energy bills caused by Labor's carbon tax. Does the minister agree that it is in the public interest for the Daily Telegraph to report that information?
