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.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

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.
