This is a question to the Prime Minister, and it is asked in a bid to give stability and certainty to the mining industry. Will the Prime Minister now rule out any further changes to the mining tax—yes or no?

As I have said, earlier in question time, we have no plans to change the MRRT. We have a process that has been ongoing for some time now, about which the Leader of the Opposition could have informed himself had he chosen to do so.
