QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms LEY (Farrer—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. In January the Prime Minister said of Tomago, 'Five thousand jobs depend on this facility.' But Tomago is now in crisis, with its CEO saying future energy prices are not commercially viable. Under Labor there have been closures of the Kwinana and Kalgoorlie smelters in WA, emergency bailouts in Hobart, Whyalla, Port Pirie and Mount Isa, and mayday calls from Bell Bay and Boyne smelters.

How can Labor promise a future made in Australia when all it actually delivers is future shutdowns, future job losses and higher energy prices?
