My question is to the Prime Minister. In the last seven weeks, inter alia, Holden, Fairfax, Ford, Telstra and SPC have announced nearly 4,000 job closures with Simplot and SPC threatening another 2,000. In the light of this continued collapse, can the government as a matter of urgency: one, impose upon food imports the WTO provision for temporary emergency tariffs; two, mandate all motor vehicles purchased under a government contract will be Australian made; three, pressure down the Australian dollar?
