My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Minister Wong. Is the minister aware that Adelaide Brighton, a leading concrete manufacturer in her home state of South Australia, has recently announced a $2.7 million profit drop and has warned of future hits to its earnings attributed to the introduction of the Gillard government's carbon tax? Can the minister explain how the government can stand by its claim that the world's biggest carbon tax will not penalise South Australian industry and, therefore, send South Australian jobs offshore?
