QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator CADELL (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (15:19): Minister, you've been unable to tell Australians how much more they will pay in two answers now. Why is the government withholding from the Australian public the modelling showing the costing of how much they will pay on the new carbon tax on fuel? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm waiting for silence across the chamber.

Order! Senator Watt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, 'order' applies to you.
