My question is to the Prime Minister. I note that the Prime Minister has previously referred to high unemployment as one of the justifications for providing $16 million to Cadbury, in the Tasmanian seat of Denison. Why didn't the government also provide assistance to workers in my electorate of Wakefield, where unemployment is higher?
