My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, last night it was revealed in Senate estimates that neither the Department of Tourism nor the Treasury have conducted any modelling on the impact of the carbon tax on tourism in Australia. I remind the Prime Minister that the Tourism and Transport Forum last year said that the carbon tax would reduce revenues in the sector by $731 million and lead to 6,400 job losses. Prime Minister, how could you introduce the world's largest carbon tax without any consideration of the tourism and hospitality sector's nearly one million employed Australians?
