My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister that Teys Australia in my electorate, which employs 800 workers, plans to shut down its Beenleigh abattoir for several weeks to avoid going over the 25,000 tonne carbon tax threshold. How will these workers and their families be supported by the government while the factory shuts down to avoid her carbon tax?
