My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Penrice Soda, which employs over 300 people at its Angaston mine and Osborne manufacturing plan in South Australia. In the last five years, this company has invested over $130 million in capital projects. I refer the Prime Minister to a letter from Penrice Soda that states:

… the new proposed tax would have a major and immediate impact on the competitiveness of our mining and chemical manufacturing operations … local communities will also be damaged.

Instead of the minor backflips and political fixes that the Prime Minister will announce in the coming days, when will the Prime Minister listen to real people in real businesses and provide real jobs and just dump this tax?
