Ian Macfarlane (Groom, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Water) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the case of an industrial engraving business in my electorate of Groom, Lazertek Australia, which has secured significant supply contracts with a dozen resource and energy companies. Lazertek have advised me via this email that, since the news broke of the government’s great big new tax on mining, the turnover from these contracts has fallen by 90 per cent. Will the Prime Minister apologise to Lazertek and all the other small businesses which have been hurt by this great big new tax on mining?
