My question is to be Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Carr. Can the minister explain why Blade Electric Vehicles, Victoria, Australia's only licensed all-electric vehicle manufacturer, was blocked from participation in the 2011 Melbourne International Motor Show by the controlling parties until media pressure gained it entry for the last two days and why it has been denied a supply of any locally made car bodies from GMH, which has benefited by over $140 million from the government's green car fund?
