My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the statement by Nyrstar, operators of the Port Pirie and Hobart lead and zinc smelters, which between them employ 1,340 workers, that:
If our competitors in Asia do not have to face a carbon price in the same way we do, it will be the cause of an exit for our Australian operations.
Will the Prime Minister guarantee that Nyrstar will not be driven from Australia by the government's carbon policy?
