Senator RONALDSON (Victoria—Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC and Special Minister of State) (14:54): I thank the honourable senator for his question. I am somewhat surprised that, having moved from the nation's great job wrecker, Senator Carr, the question has been flicked off to the new senator from Victoria. Senator Jacinta Collins: Is the problem that you're briefless? Senator RONALDSON: No, it is a very large brief, actually. I'm happy to give it to you in three years time! The PRESIDENT: Senator Ronaldson, ignore the interjections and address the chair. Senator RONALDSON: I dare say, Mr President, it is probably the largest brief here. Putting that to one side, I just want to draw to the honourable senator's attention—I know that he has recently arrived—and remind him of his party's changes to the fringe benefits tax which the Australian automotive industry said would have cost 100,000 jobs. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Ronaldson, resume your seat. Senator Ronaldson is entitled to be heard in silence. Senator RONALDSON: I do have a brief here that Senator Carr might not be quite as keen for me to read, which I am happy to talk to. What I will say to the honourable senator is that the fringe benefits changes that you proposed were going to cost 100,000 in annual production for the automotive industry. I will just go through some figures with your colleague from Victoria, the great job wrecker of the automotive industry in this country. These are some very interesting figures. Automotive industry employment averaged 45,007 people in the four quarters to August 2013, down from 50,376 in the same period in 2012. Just out of interest, Senator— (Time expired)
