The Prime Minister is not worth the price of food after 8 years of inflation. But yesterday he couldn t answer how a mushroom farm in Mozambique is supposed to pay its $100,000 carbon tax bill. Well, he did send the farm a Christmas present. This is the November 9th to December 6th bill, $16,050 for one month. And it's not even winter yet. How would the Prime Minister like this farm to pay this $16k monthly bill? Raise food prices?
