Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to his response to Ford’s first round of job cuts announced on 22 August. He said:

The Government is paying close attention to the recommendations of the Bracks automotive review and will issue our response shortly ...

Is the minister aware that over 3,200 jobs have been lost in the car manufacturing industry since he became minister? How many more jobs will be lost in the car industry before the government finally acts?
