I refer the Treasurer to the fact that managing director of Holden, Mike Devereux, was reported this morning as having told the Productivity Commission that the cost of losing the car manufacturing industry would dwarf the cost of keeping it. Given the government is cutting $500 million in auto assistance, isn't the government leaving the auto industry with no future at all?
