My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his claim yesterday that large mining companies are using strong-arm tactics to prevent others in the industry from supporting the government’s great big new tax on mining. Is the Treasurer prepared to back up this unsubstantiated claim with evidence in the parliament today? If not, will he apologise to the industry and its leaders for this latest slur?
