My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Qantas's statement that the carbon tax will cost it more than $110 million next financial year alone, more than doubling Qantas's tax bill. Given that both the United States and China have opposed carbon pricing on their national airlines, isn't the government's carbon tax only going to further disadvantage our national airline and put greater pressure on Australian jobs?
