My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. How does the minister reconcile his statement in a press release that job losses at Kurri Kurri are 'unrelated to the carbon price' with the company's statement issued today which says 'long-term viability will be negatively affected by a number of factors including the carbon tax'? Will the minister please stop misleading this House and explain that contradiction?
