My question is to the Treasurer. I remind the Treasurer that the mining tax has raised $126 million in its first six months and that it was budgeted for $1 billion over that period. Given that the tax office has spent over $50 million administering the tax, will the Treasurer now face reality, admit defeat and join with the coalition to abolish this failed tax?
