My question is to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer confirm that, in a start to the Labor ‘jobs for the boys’ season, the government has decided to appoint former Victorian Labor Premier Steve Bracks to chair a major review of Australia’s car industry? Can the Treasurer explain why he has ignored Treasury advice to ask the independent Productivity Commission to conduct this review? Can the Treasurer confirm that Mr Bracks will be paid a salary of $10,000 a week?
