My question is to the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Carr. I refer to the minister’s answer yesterday when he asserted that it was ‘incorrect’ that Labor mate Steve Bracks was to be appointed to head an inquiry into the automotive industries. In light of the minister’s own confirmation today that Mr Bracks will indeed head this inquiry, can the minister now confirm that he misled the Senate? As such, will he now apologise to the Senate?
