the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I have a
supplementary question.
What concrete steps
is the minister taking to oppose these damaging taxes?

AnswerView source ↗

have an excellent federal resources minister in Hon Madeleine King, and we have
a very good relationship with her and the federal government. We pass on the concerns
of industry—
