Mr President, I rise on a point of order. Maybe Senator Carr does not realise it, but he is actually responsible for the Australian automotive industry. I know he is not across his responsibilities, but he is responsible for the Australian automotive industry. It is perfectly proper for me to ask him, as the minister responsible for the Australian automotive industry, about the impact of his government’s policies on the Australian automotive industry. If he cannot answer it, he should resign from his portfolio.
