My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the comments of the CEO of BlueScope Steel, Paul O’Malley, on radio this morning. He said:
When Australian manufacturing is doing it tough … the last thing you would expect to happen is for the Government to kick you while you are down … the policy is really an incentive to move steel manufacturing overseas rather than to lower carbon.
Will the Prime Minister guarantee that jobs at Australian steel manufacturers BlueScope and OneSteel will not be exported overseas as a result of your carbon tax?
