My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Sinodinos. I refer to an article published in the Australian Financial Review on 24 January titled 'Accepting industries will die: Sinodinos' in which the minister urged Australians not to be too nostalgic about dying industries, saying, 'nothing is forever.' Minister, is this the best advice you can give the 200,000 Australians whose jobs depend upon the automotive industry but who now face such an uncertain future?
