My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Prime Minister Bob Brown's—sorry, I mean Senator Bob Brown's—statement that the coal industry should be phased out and Senator Lee Rhiannon's statement that the coal industry can be closed within a decade. Prime Minister, have you received any represent­ations from the member for Capricornia, the member for Throsby, the member for Cunningham or the member for Hunter seeking a guarantee that no coalmine will close and that no coalminer will lose their job as a result of your carbon tax?
