Mr Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the appointment in 2009 of a steel supplier advocate whose job was to work with the Australian steel industry to win major contracts and to boost local content. If the Prime Minister really cares about the steel industry, why has that steel supplier advocate position been vacant for nine months? Why should anyone believe the local content announcement the government made yesterday when it made the same announcement two years ago?
