My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to modelling conducted by the South Australian Treasury, which was obtained under freedom of information laws, which reveals that 1,500 jobs are likely to be lost in South Australia as a direct result of the government's carbon tax. What is the minister's message to the 1,500 South Australians who will lose their jobs following the introduction of the world's biggest carbon tax?
