Ms Julie Bishop (Curtin, Liberal Party, Deputy Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

I refer the Prime Minister to the comments of Indigenous leader and Western Australian magistrate Sue Gordon, who said that the job prospects of thousands of Aborigines were at risk unless the new tax on mining was scrapped and that:

We are now beginning to be part of wealth creation in this country … but not if projects don’t go ahead.

Will the Prime Minister listen to Indigenous leaders like Sue Gordon and scrap his tax or will he guarantee that no Indigenous community will be worse off as a result of developments suspended or mining projects not proceeded with because of his tax grab?
