Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:00): Absolutely not. This is just a nasty smear from the Leader of the Opposition. I am aware that Qantas today put out a statement— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Could we have some silence on my left. You have asked the question. Mr ABBOTT: Just so that members of this House should know what the situation is, Qantas has today put out a statement to say: We have said that the price on carbon is a cost to our business that we have not been able to recover through fare increases … So there we have it: the carbon tax is a drag on Qantas that it does not need. It is a $106 million hit on jobs at Qantas. We will get rid of the carbon tax, but the Leader of the Opposition wants to leave this $106 million a year hit on Qantas in place. Mr Shorten: I seek leave to table the statement on Monday where Qantas said the major issues facing Qantas are not related to carbon pricing. Leave not granted.
