My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the loss of up to 70 jobs in Mount Isa and Cloncurry directly and indirectly as a result of the suspension by Xstrata of its copper exploration program in North Queensland due to his great big new tax on mining. What impact will these job losses have upon these local communities and how many more job losses will these towns have to endure as a result of his great big new tax?
