Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that the Bracks report in 2008 estimated a multiplier effect of six jobs for every automotive manufacturing or component job, what plan does the government have to deal with the expected loss of 150,000 to 200,000 jobs mainly in South Australia and Victoria? Does the government agree with that multiplier figure? If not, what other multiplier figure does it suggest?
