My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the detailed unemployment data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics last Thursday which showed that the unemployment rate in regional Australia is six per cent while the unemployment rate in capital cities is 5.1 per cent. Given that the economic modelling confirms that a carbon tax will hit regional Australia the hardest, can the minister provide the name of one person with a green job in regional Australia?
