Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Leader of the Opposition) (14:05): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer her to the government's intention to give the Alcoa aluminium smelter at Point Henry $42 million in hush money to help pay its carbon tax bill. Given that the Australian Aluminium Council has warned that the carbon tax will contribute to ensuring Australian aluminium operations have no long-term future, will the Prime Minister now announce similar bailouts for all the other 16,000 workers in the industry at sites like Gladstone, Portland, Kwinana, Kurri Kurri and Bell Bay? Mr Albanese: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: the suggestion in that question of hush money is a very serious allegation to make not just against the government but against the company Alcoa. I request that the Leader of the Opposition, if possible, rephrase the question in a more sensible way. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): I was going to point out to the Leader of the Opposition that the use of the term hush money is an imputation. I rule that part of the question out of order. I call the Prime Minister.
