Mr President, I have a supplementary question, and I would like to move onto the topic of modelling later. Given that Xstrata has indicated that it would be forced to slash at least 1,000 Australian jobs and that Alcoa has stated that at least 800 of its Australian workers will be let go because of the government’s flawed emissions trading scheme, how many more companies have indicated to the government that they also will be forced to cut their workforce and future investment in Australia as a result of the emissions trading scheme?
