The Bracks review is examining all aspects that are affecting the competitiveness of the automotive industry. It is a wide-ranging review. It is a review undertaken in circumstances where the Australian automotive industry is facing acute challenges. The review will be examining a range of matters. The terms of reference are sufficiently broad to allow any consideration of these taxation issues, and not just the taxation questions but the issues with regard to tariff and non-tariff barriers to the export of Australian automobiles. The review will provide an opportunity for the entire industry to have a say. I look forward to the opposition’s response to that review and I look forward to their support for the Australian automotive industry. I look forward to their support in this chamber.
