Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:06): I can confirm to the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate that the government does believe that GMH and other manufacturers deserve government support. The sort of support which we have already put on the table for GMH includes abolition of Labor's FBT proposal, which would have put a dagger into the heart of the automotive manufacturing sector in this country. We have also said that we would remove the carbon tax, which we know has the impact of a reverse tariff of approximately $400 per vehicle made in Australia. Senator Kim Carr: You know that's wrong. Senator ABETZ: Senator Carr should tell PricewaterhouseCoopers that they have got it wrong. If I have the choice of Senator Carr or PricewaterhouseCoopers, I plead guilty to accepting the advice of PricewaterhouseCoopers any day of the week. We have already put in place a plan that would be of great assistance to the auto sector and who stands in the way of delivering that assistance to the automotive sector? The Australian Labor Party is playing sabotage with the will of the Australian people, as expressed on 7 September. We know and the Australian people know that— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Abetz, you are entitled to be heard in silence. When there is silence I will ask you to proceed. Senator ABETZ: The Australian people know that this nation needs a plan to reboot the Australian economy. We delivered that plan and the Australian people endorsed it on 7 September 2013. Regrettably, those on the other side are not willing to accept the result and are therefore using or abusing the excess numbers they currently enjoy in this place to sabotage our policies.
