Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Was the CEO of BlueScope Steel, Mr Paul O’Malley, right yesterday when he said:

... the CPRS undermines Port Kembla Steelworks’ current world class competitiveness. It risks the viability of these long-term manufacturing assets. It’s a direct threat to this NSW regional economy and the 12,000 workers and their families who rely on the steelworks, and more than 1000 employees and contractors ... at Western Port in Victoria.
