My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this letter from Mr Paul Pike, the Managing Director of Mulgundawa Salt mine, who wrote to the Treasurer last Friday in relation to the government’s great big new tax on mining. He said:

This threatens the viability of the business, the employment of 18 people and would impact on regional suppliers and contractors who support our business.

Can the Prime Minister guarantee that businesses like Mr Pike’s will not close down as a consequence of his great big new tax on mining?
