My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Cash. In 2013, the then Treasurer Joe Hockey goaded the motor industry into leaving Australia, saying:

There's a hell of a lot of industries in Australia that would love to get the assistance that the motor vehicle industry is getting.

Can the minister confirm that at the time the Australian government's co-investment in the automotive manufacturing was the lowest of any country with an auto industry?
