Senator KIM CARR (Victoria) (14:45): My question without notice is to Senator Abetz, representing the Prime Minister. I refer to the tragic and totally avoidable announcement by General Motors Holden today, announcing the end of manufacturing— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Carr is entitled to be heard in silence. Senator KIM CARR: General Motors' statement announcing the end of manufacturing in Australia notes that the company understands the government's point of view. Does the minister acknowledge that the government ripped $500 million from the automotive industry pre-2015— Senator Brandis: How many job losses on your hands, Kim? You did it! Senator KIM CARR: and provided nothing but uncertainty after that? Senator Cameron: The answer is yes! The PRESIDENT: Order! I cannot hear the question with the interjections. I am entitled to hear the question, as is the minister. Senator KIM CARR: I would ask: are you proud of your success in driving General Motors Holden out of manufacturing in Australia? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When there is silence on both sides we will proceed. On both sides! Order!
