My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's statement in the House on Tuesday when he said:

One thing this government is not going to do, though, is simply hand over $25 million in borrowed money to a highly profitable company that made $215 million in after-tax profit last year.

I also note that a few hours ago Cadbury's overseas parent company, Mondelez, reported a profit of $3.9 billion in 2013.

The honourable member's time has elapsed. There is no question before the chair. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is going to have to be more attentive. I call the honourable member for Robertson.
