My question is to the Treasurer. I ask the Treasurer: does he still hold the following view about Qantas? I quote: 'This is something I've previously been on the record about. I'm very concerned about any dilution of Australian control of Qantas. We've been concerned for a number of reasons. Our experience has been that when companies have majority foreign ownership or majority foreign control then it actually has had an impact on the social responsibility of those companies in Australia.'
