My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry, Senator Ronaldson. Can the minister confirm that the government will cut $500 million to 2015 from the Automotive Transformation Scheme and that on 6 December the Prime Minister pledged that there was not going to be any extra for the automotive industry? Why did the Prime Minister rule out any further assistance when the government had received a business case which would have retained GMH operations in Australia?
