When I last looked at my list of ministerial responsibilities, I don't believe I saw that I have ministerial responsibility for Wesfarmers. Wesfarmers, of course, is a great Australian business. But what motivates them to make their decisions is entirely a matter for Wesfarmers. If you want to know what has motivated Wesfarmers to take a particular course of action, I'm quite happy to pass on the phone number of their managing director or their government relations person.
