Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the minister give the Senate an outline of the longer term prospects for Australian manufacturing, especially as the rest of the world bounces back from recession? What factors will influence Australia’s success in winning manufacturing sales and investment during the recovery phase? Can the minister explain what new measures the government has planned to ensure that the momentum of renewal and transformation in Australian manufacturing is maintained in the year ahead?
