Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am happy to rephrase the question. I direct the question to the Acting Prime Minister. I refer to the announcement by Holden today that it will be discontinuing vehicle manufacturing in Australia by 2017. What does the Acting Prime Minister say to the 1,600 Holden workers in South Australia and the 1,300 workers in Victoria who will lose their jobs as a result of the government's inaction to deal with this very important issue?
