Mr Speaker, won't her carbon tax ultimately close down the Australian aluminium industry?

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has not finished answering the question. There are opportunities for the Leader of the Opposition to ask a supplementary question. He sought the call. I gave it to him on the basis that he was about to make a point of order. I now call the Leader of the Opposition on the basis that he is taking a point of order.

Yes, Mr Speaker, and I do thank you for your courtesy to me. On direct relevance, won't the carbon tax close down the Australian aluminium industry?

The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat, as will the Leader of the House. The Prime Minister has the call and she will be directly relevant to the question under consideration.
