I want to refer to the impact of the carbon tax on the aluminium sector. In doing so, I remind the chamber that of course answers given in this chamber have the same weight and bearing as answers given in the primary chamber of the House, with all the consequences for statements made that may or may not be true. Very briefly, my question to the minister is: is the government considering, involved in or negotiating any form of bailout package for sections of the aluminium sector, given the imminence of the carbon tax?
