My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer her to the announcement today that Hydro Aluminium will close down its Kurri Kurri plant employing 344 people in part because of the impact of a carbon tax on its long-term viability. Given that the carbon tax is already a wrecking ball swinging through the aluminium industry, the coal industry, the steel industry and the aviation industry, will the Prime Minister apologise to the 344 workers whose livelihoods are now imperilled by her broken promise never to have a carbon tax?
