I move amendment No. 19:

In page 100, to delete line 12 and substitute the following:

"with subsection (4).

(3A) The purchase of diesel by a haulier will be claimable against income tax payable.".".

I will not linger on this as we have covered most of the issues. As I pointed out earlier with respect to food and transport around the country, whether there are inputs or outputs from the agricultural sector, although there is the possibility to claim back money through the tax system, the carbon tax is an issue regardless of whether a person lives in the city or country. Everything goes by the road and damn all goes by rail. Will the Minister consider this, although I will not harp on again about everything I spoke of in the past few minutes? The haulage business is a tough game, to put it simply, whether a haulier is bringing timber from a wood, meat or fertiliser.
