The failed industry minister over six years, who was in and out on three occasions, is talking to me about chaos. What a nerve, coming from this man who was renowned as the worst industry minister this nation has ever had! What I can tell the chamber is that we are investing $1.6 billion into industry programs over the forward estimates. We are serious about the future of industry in this nation. We are serious about creating a number of funds which will maximise the opportunity for industry in this country to grow, invest and employ. We are not going to be lectured by the worst industry minister on record in relation to what is required to drive industry growth and manufacturing growth in this nation.
