My question is to the Prime Minister. Given that Telstra, Woolworths, Coca-Cola, JB Hi-Fi, Leighton, Metcash, Foster’s, Brambles and Cochlear, to name a few, were all more profitable companies last year than Rio Tinto, will he confirm that they would all face a superprofits tax like the great big new tax on mining if his logic to the new tax were applied across all sectors as suggested by the Secretary to the Treasury?
