Warren Truss (Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the government's decision to give the Alcoa aluminium smelter at Port Henry $42 million to help pay its carbon tax bill. Why are the 600 workers at Port Henry entitled to a $42 million payment for the carbon tax but not the 500 workers at Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley? Are the workers in that area not a priority because their electorate is not sufficiently marginal?
