"While the federal government has given the trucking industry a two-year exemption from the tax — until July 1, 2014 — Mr McMillan yesterday said when it was imposed on the industry, it would hit families hard.
“Our fuel will rise 6.2 cents a litre,” he said.
“We use two litres a kilometre, so it’s a huge cost.
“A trip from here to Melbourne, we are now paid probably $700. But under the carbon tax, it’s going to be a $1500 trip, at least, and someone’s got to pay for that."
