My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister confirm that official ATO taxation statistics on the Taxation Office website show that the effective company tax rate for the mining industry is 27.8 per cent and when including royalties it is 41.3 per cent? Does the Prime Minister stand by the statements of his Treasurer and Deputy Prime Minister that the taxation rate is only 17 per cent? I seek leave to table ATO taxation statistics 2007-08, tables 8 and 9, as proof.

Leave not granted.
