In question time today I asked the Prime Minister a very simple question about guaranteeing jobs at Portland Aluminium in my electorate. I did not seek to put words into the mouth of the company or its executive, as she alluded to in the censure motion. I asked her quite simply to guarantee the 600 jobs in my electorate, and she would not do it.
