The Telegraph is reporting that:

| Table 4's meal is ready! |
SHOPS and restaurants could face
fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the
carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact.
The prices watchdog, the ACCC, will today launch its countdown to the
July 1 carbon tax with a special focus on helping small businesses
understand their obligations and consumers to be vigilant for false
claims.
- Power costs are to rise due to the carbon dioxide tax;
- Shopping centres have flagged rent rises due to the carbon dioxide tax, and
- Council rates are destined to rise due to the carbon dioxide tax.
How will the ACCC separate price rises into carbon dioxide tax and non-carbon dioxide tax components?
