Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I presume the Leader of the Opposition intends to continue with his stated cutbacks: $176 million in textiles, clothing and footwear; $102 million in combining Enterprise Connect and AusIndustry; and $500 million in the Automotive Transformation Scheme, a cutback to which the Leader of the Opposition recently recommitted—something he clearly had not conveyed to his shadow minister because on radio today she was unable to answer questions about whether that half-a-billion dollar cutback was going ahead. It is official opposition policy and I believe Australians will judge them on it.
