My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Mr Jones, of Merriwa, who wrote to the Prime Minister on 10 May. In his letter he writes:

I am particularly concerned with the tax on super profits for the mining industry … it is not just money at stake, what about employment, housing, and small business viability, they are all at risk … it is bad policy … and one which I cannot support … I am not involved in any way to the mining industry. I am just a simple man who is trying to keep my head above water and looking forward to a happy retirement in 10 years.

Can the Prime Minister assure Mr Jones and the 778,000 self-funded retirees in Australia that the government has done an analysis on how the new mining tax will affect them? If so, will the government release it?
