My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Is the Acting Prime Minister aware that Peabody Energy has announced that it will close its Wilkie Creek mine near Dalby in my electorate of Maranoa, leading to the loss of 120 jobs? Is he also aware that the company identified the carbon tax as a substantial burden? Acting Prime Minister, what impediments are there to repealing the carbon tax and creating jobs?
