My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the plight of Clark Equipment, a supplier of forklifts and bobcats based in my electorate and employing nearly 500 people. Since the great big new tax on mining was announced, the business has experienced a sharp drop in orders from the mining sector and other regional customers, including half a million dollars of lost business in Western Australia. When will the Prime Minister stop pretending that his new tax is somehow good for the mining industry and listen to the concerns of real people like those at Clark Equipment and dump his job-destroying tax?
