My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister that the owners of Hazelwood Power Station have been forced to pump $652 million into the plant to keep it solvent because of the risks posed by the carbon tax. Given that the government modelling predicts the carbon tax will lead to a 71 per cent reduction in coal fired power generation, is the Prime Minister prepared for more bailouts like the one planned for Alcoa because of the carbon tax?
