Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to media reports today that the Prime Minister told the coalition party room earlier today that the workers and the workplace conditions at Toyota were responsible for Toyota's decision to leave Australia. Will the Prime Minister tell Toyota workers what he told his party room today—that he believes that they are the highest paid in the world and not productive enough—and is that why Toyota is closing its doors? The SPEAKER: I think that the Leader of the Opposition would be best to rephrase that question because in its current form I do not believe it is in order as it relates to proceedings in the government's party room. If the Leader of the Opposition wishes to rephrase his question I will give him that opportunity. Mr SHORTEN: I refer to reports of the Prime Minister telling a meeting I cannot specify that the workers and workplace conditions at Toyota were responsible for Toyota's decision to leave Australia. Will the Prime Minister tell Toyota workers, the 2½ thousand people who lost their jobs on his watch, that he believes that they were too highly paid and not productive enough and that is why Toyota is closing its doors? The SPEAKER: I will give the call to the Hon. the Prime Minister, although I do not really regard that as a proper restatement of the question.
