Once you ask a question you will get an answer, my friend. It is this side that asks questions. You have not asked a question since 9 July. We have the $155 million growth fund and $50 million manufacturing transition program. They will help focus the government's approach. Our approach is strategic and is focused. It stands in stark contrast to that of those opposite. Those in Geelong and Adelaide need to know they have a government standing beside them during this transition process. They had nothing from the former government. They had nothing from the former minister. The Australian Labor Party trotted through three industry ministers in six years, and Senator Carr was a failure on every single occasion.
