Senator CARR (Victoria—Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) (14:56): I am looking forward to the Liberal Party going down to the Illawarra and telling steelworkers that $300 million for the steel industry is of no assistance. I am looking forward to them trying to pretend, as Mr Abbott does on a regular basis, that they know how to use a screwdriver, yet cannot do anything to actually help workers in the manufacturing industry. They say they are going to repeal these measures. I am looking forward to them saying how they are going to withdraw over $20 billion of assistance from industries across this country. Senator Fierravanti-Wells interjecting— Senator CARR: I am going to look forward to them saying that they do not want to see the 43 per cent increase in support for science and research that this government is undertaking. Senator Fierravanti-Wells interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Carr, resume your seat. There is a little bit of excitement in the chamber still. Senator Conroy: From the fishwives! Senator Fierravanti-Wells: Mr President, I ask that Senator Conroy withdraw that offensive remark. The PRESIDENT: Senator Conroy, withdraw that. Senator Conroy: I withdraw, Mr President. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: When there is silence the minister can proceed. Senator CARR: I am looking forward to the Liberal Party saying that they do not support the 'Buy Australia' campaign. I am looking forward to them saying they do not support our steel industry advocates or the industrial capability networks or the Supplier Access to Major Projects scheme. These are all the measures that this government is undertaking— (Time expired)
