My question is the Prime Minister. I refer to the Press Club address last month by the Minister for Climate Change. He said:
If the imposition of a carbon price led to production being moved offshore to a country without a comparable carbon constraint, we could end up with a worse environmental outcome as well as the loss of Australian jobs.
Given that, at the weekend, Russia, Japan and Canada advised that they would not join a second round of carbon cuts under the Kyoto protocol and the United States has reconfirmed that it will not join, will the Prime Minister guarantee that no industries will move and no jobs will be lost overseas as a result of her carbon tax?
