My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to comments made by the Treasurer on 19 February, when he described the fiscal mess of Labor's mining tax as being 'politically inconvenient'. Can the minister inform the Senate by what measure the government can describe this flawed mining tax as a success? How much revenue has it raised? How many jobs has it created? Or how politically convenient it is?
