My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister of the Holden managing director's statement that 'there is no question that a tax on electricity, in making it more expensive in input costs,' is making it more difficult to build cars and it goes on to say that is a black-and-white thing. Will the Prime Minister scrap the increase in the carbon tax on 1 July to provide at least some relief for manufacturing businesses anxious to keep their doors open and their workers in jobs?
