My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer the Prime Minister to statements about his great big new tax on mining. Here is David Murray:

‘My view is that the tax has to be changed or abandoned.’

Here is Lindsay Fox, who says:

I reckon they probably went the wrong way …

Here is Sir Rod Eddington, the Prime Minister’s hand-picked business adviser, who says:

… the policy making process to date leaves a lot to be desired.

I ask the Prime Minister: when will he listen to the real concerns of these serious people and just dump this really bad tax?
