My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the statement by the Chairman of BlueScope Steel, Graham Kraehe, today that the carbon tax meant that there was ‘a high risk of the steel industry reaching a tipping point where it will no longer be viable to keep a steel industry in Australia; and compensation to industry is ‘like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.’ Will the Prime Minister guarantee workers in industries like the steel plant at Kwinana in outer metropolitan Perth that not one Australian job will be lost overseas as a result of her carbon tax?
