My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. I refer to evidence in estimates that the Department of Employment knew in advance of the plan to replace the Australian crew of the MV Portland with a foreign crew and set sail the following day. I also refer to evidence that the minister and her office were informed in advance. Once informed, what action did the minister take to defend Australian jobs on the MV Portland?
