Carr Components

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Automotive Transformation. Will the minister confirm that automotive parts manufacturer, Carr Components, established in 1928, has today advised that 70 staff will be made redundant from their Netley operations?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:56): Thank you for that question. I am not aware, but that sounds very serious and I will be looking into it immediately. If it is the case, we will of course be supporting the workers in their retraining and their bids to find future employment. I will take that matter very seriously and look into it, thank you.
