My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this article headlined 'Airlines volunteer to pay carbon tax', which states:

Qantas, Virgin Blue and other domestic airlines will voluntarily pay the carbon tax after lobbying to be included in the scheme.

It continues:

A spokeswoman for Virgin Blue said the carbon pricing scheme would allow the company to source abatement measures at lowest cost.

When will the Prime Minister act in the national interest rather than playing politics with our national airline?
