My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the statement by his Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research yesterday that he had been told by Pacific Brands three weeks ago it was going to sack 1,850 workers and had discussed it with the company’s chairman. But in an interview on 3AW this morning the minister was asked if he was aware of the depth of these problems before yesterday and he replied, ‘No.’ Which version of events from the industry minister is correct? And, Prime Minister, when did you become aware that these sackings were coming up, and what did you do about them?
