Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to comments, reported just before question time, by Stephen Jones, the member for Throsby, who is reportedly the Labor-Left faction convenor. In relation to the carbon tax he said:

It was unrealistic to expect that not one job will be lost.

Given that Paul Howes from the Australian Workers Union has said, 'If one job is gone our support is gone,' Treasurer, who is right: the member for Throsby or your mate Paul Howes?
