Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (15:01): Does anyone seriously believe that, at a time like this, Qantas wants to pay $106 million in carbon tax? Here is a company which has just reported a $252 million loss for just a half-year, and this genius opposite thinks they want to keep paying $106 million in carbon tax. Mr Albanese: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The SPEAKER: If the member for Grayndler is simply going to read out the piece of paper in his hand instead of having a proper point of order then he will be removed. Mr Albanese: To assist the Prime Minister, I seek leave to table it. The SPEAKER: That is not a point of order. One more time like that! Mr ABBOTT: This idea that Qantas somehow loves the carbon tax, even though the carbon tax adds $106 million to its costs, even though the carbon tax is contributing to a $252 million half-yearly loss, is just crackers. Mr Shorten interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will desist. Mr ABBOTT: It is just crackers, Madam Speaker. Tell them they're dreaming. That's what they're doing: they're dreaming. Mr Dreyfus: 'Crackers'! The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs will remove himself under 94(a). The member for Isaacs then left the chamber. Mr ABBOTT: They're dreaming. We are going to give Qantas and Virgin the same level playing field to compete upon and we are going to get rid of the carbon tax on all of them. That will save Qantas $106 million a year. It will save Virgin $48 million a year. It will save Rex $2½ million a year. And they will be very, very grateful. Their jobs will be safer and their companies will be more secure. Mr Albanese: Madam Speaker, I seek leave to table the document 'Airlines volunteer to pay carbon tax'. Leave not granted.
