My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Express Coach Builders, a bus-building business in my electorate that retrenched 25 skilled workers last week due to high taxes, rising costs and intense international competition. When will the Prime Minister start to listen to people like general manager Paul Hoffman when he says: 'When the carbon tax is introduced there will be yet another layer of added cost to us as an Australian manufacturer, yet our overseas opposition can produce a vehicle in their country, ship it to Australia carbon tax free. This is a joke'?
