"Producers in the farming and fishing industries will benefit from a cent-for-cent increase in the diesel rebate announced by the Rudd Government as part of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Tony Burke said the Government recognised the financial pressures placed on producers by the rising price of diesel.
He said the Government would provide a rebate to businesses in the agriculture and fishing sectors to offset the initial price impact on fuel from the introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme."
