Senator RONALDSON (Victoria) (14:17): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. Will the minister confirm that Alcoa's review of its Point Henry aluminium smelter operation in Geelong considered the price of the government's carbon tax on the costs of production? Will the minister also confirm that Alcoa's carbon tax bill for its Point Henry smelter is in the order of $40 million?
