My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister believe that it is important that Qantas still calls Australia home?

I do want Qantas to call Australia home, and I do want Qantas to flourish into the future. But the best thing we can do to help Qantas to call Australia home, not just now but forever—

Is to sell it off!

The Leader of the Opposition has asked his question. He will listen to the answer.

is to remove the shackles which are holding Qantas back. The Leader of the Opposition is complaining on behalf of Qantas. I want to work on behalf of Qantas. I want this parliament to work on behalf of Qantas by, this very day, repealing the carbon tax and taking that $100 million hit off Qantas and off Qantas workers.
