My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the signed heads of agreement between the government and the three mining companies that declares all state and territory royalties will be creditable against the resources tax liability. Why, then, did the Prime Minister state yesterday that the current treatment of royalties under the mining tax is unsustainable and undesirable given that she negotiated it? Is the Prime Minister now planning to abandon this solemn commitment?
