Senator RONALDSON (Victoria—Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC and Special Minister of State) (14:22): Again I say to the chamber that Senator Carr had the opportunity to address the issue of the car industry today. He has chosen to play cheap politics, probably a bit like the cheap politics he played in relation to the FBT: no consultation. The former industry minister actually lumbered the automotive industry with a tax that he did not even discuss with them—not one bit of conversation with them. That was going to destroy the automotive industry. It took the coalition to reverse it, it will take the coalition to remove the carbon tax, it will take the coalition to remove the mining tax and we will lift the cost impost off the automotive industry and manufacturing generally.
