I did notice the comments from the chairman of Rusal Australia, and members of the opposition should have noticed the comments from the chairman of Rusal Australia. For the record, Rusal is a part owner of the QAL alumina refinery in Gladstone—1,000 employees and another 300 contractors. This is what the chairman said in The Australian Financial Review last week:

Rusal Australia made it clear over the past three years in meetings with, and briefings to, the previous government that its investment in the … (QAL) refinery at Gladstone was being put at risk by the government's unilateral carbon tax and energy policy.
