Automotive Industry

In reply to Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (23 July 2014). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector): I have been advised:

The 2013-14 financial year budget was revised to $1.96 million, due to the state government engaging experts to undertake reviews to determine the impact of GM Holden Ltd's closure in 2017 on the automotive supply chain and broader industry.
