My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the statement in London just nine weeks ago by the chief executive of Glencore, the biggest commodities trading company in the world. He said:

… Australia does have its risk, yes. We saw the carbon tax, we saw the mineral resource tax.

Does the Treasurer seriously expect Australians to believe that the government's tax policies have no impact on the investment decisions of BHP and other resource companies?
