The reintroduction of the carbon tax repeal bill to the House of Representatives on 23 June 2014 has prompted businesses to consider their actions if the carbon tax is indeed abolished. Diane Smith-Gander, the director of Wesfarmers and chairman of Transfield Services, spoke about the impact of the repeal of the tax on retailers at a Committee for Economic Development of Australia conference.
