During question time the Prime Minister quoted from an interview I gave this morning. I have here the transcript of that interview, which demonstrates that I did not endorse the mining super tax proposed by the Rudd government. I criticised the entry level and endorsed the prior rights of state governments to continue to raise their mining royalties, which is not a profit related regime. I also criticised the government’s complete bungling on the whole introduction of this tax. I stated that the philosophy of it was wrong.
