My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the article in today’s Newcastle Herald which says up to 36,000 jobs in the Hunter region would be put at risk by Labor’s emissions trading scheme. Will the Prime Minister be prepared to guarantee these 36,000 workers and their families that their jobs are indeed secure and that their industries are viable?
