Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS (New South Wales) (14:30): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I look forward to Minister Carr's next visit to Wollongong. I am sure it will be very welcoming. If the government is arguing, as it did yesterday, that the announcements at BlueScope have no connection with the looming threat of a carbon tax— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I remind senators that questions should not be prefaced by a statement. Senator Fierravanti-Wells, I could not hear your question, so I am going to ask you to do it again, because of interjections on my right. Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS: Thank you, Mr President. If the government is arguing, as it did yesterday, that the announcements at BlueScope have no connection with the looming threat of a carbon tax, then why is it raiding a fund that has been designed specifically to deal with the impact of that very tax?
