My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. Does the minister agree with statements by the Minister for Resources and Energy, Mr Ferguson, reported in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday that, 'There is a lot of concern in industry about the carbon price the government have locked in, given where Europe is,' and that this could be 'to our disadvantage as a nation'? Is the government considering any changes to the carbon tax to ensure it is not to our disadvantage as a nation?
