Senator MADIGAN (Victoria) (14:54): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In light of the minister's statement that China doubles its investment in research and development every five years, can the minister explain how the granting of $63 million from the government's green car fund to Nexteer, a company owned by the Beijing government through Pacific Century Automotive, advances the competitiveness of Australian owned and operated companies or is in keeping with the government's commitment to a level playing field?
