My question is again to the Prime Minister, and I refer her to big job losses at Qantas and OneSteel, Australian icons that will be severely affected by the carbon tax. Why is she making competitive pressures worse with a carbon price that applies to Australian companies but not to our competitors? Isn't this the worst possible time for a big new tax on everything?
