There has been no reduction in car industry funding. There is the same car funding available today as there has been. Let me refer members opposite to a statement by the former Prime Minister, Ms Gillard. She said:

It gives me great pleasure to be able to say to the House that we have worked together with Holden and we have secured Holden to manufacture cars in Australia for the next decade. Holden will be manufacturing two new-generation motor vehicles here in Australia for the next decade.

I simply make this point: how can it be the job of this government to save Holden when the former government said it had already been done?
