My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with Australian Food and Grocery Council that the average household supermarket trolley of fresh and manufactured food products will increase because of the government’s emissions trading scheme by $520 a year unless 300,000 relatively well-paid Australian workers are sacked and all such goods are imported from low-cost countries like China? Why is the government putting jobs of overseas workers ahead of jobs in Australia?
