Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Housing and Local Government) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. What does the Prime Minister have to say to the people of Newcastle, Mount Isa, Gladstone and Latrobe, whose mayors have called on the federal government not to impose the Emissions Trad-ing Scheme on their com-munities in the inter-ests of protecting the economic and job futures of their citizens? When will jobs take priority over your unwil-lingness as Prime Minister to admit it when you get it wrong? What is more important—your ego or jobs?
