Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. That was a non-answer if ever I heard one. The question was specifically related to the availability of credit for car dealers. I ask: why does today’s package fail to address the critical credit issues facing Australia’s car dealers and therefore car manufacturers? Is it true that, unless this credit bungle is immediately addressed, at least one local manufacturer may exit Australia before today’s package is actually implemented?
