My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the government's Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which is similar to a United States Department of Energy program that guarantees loans to green energy companies. Is the Prime Minister aware that under this US program half a billion dollars in taxpayer backed loan guarantees were extended to US company Solyndra, which has recently filed for bankruptcy and been raided by the FBI and is sacking its 1,100 workers? Will the Prime Minister guarantee that the government's Clean Energy Finance Corporation will not lose any of the $10 billion in taxpayer funds under its control?
