My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. I refer you to the answers you gave yesterday regarding secret government modelling in a document titled 'Estimated impacts of CFPS and associated coalmine closures', dated October 2020, which details almost 800 job losses in the Hunter Valley alone associated with government policies and the closure of mines. In April this year the now Prime Minister, when visiting the Hunter Valley mining communities, was quoted by the Newcastle Herald under the heading 'Anthony Albanese "guarantees" no jobs will be lost on road to net zero'. Can the minister advise on whether the Prime Minister stands by his guarantees?
