          <by role="member" id="3489">The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:55):</by>  I have a supplementary question. Given the minister's answer about not supporting the motor industry, does the minister therefore concur with the executive of GMH that one of the main reasons for leaving Elizabeth was the cost of doing business in South Australia, and particularly utility costs, and that they had planned to walk because they could not afford to do business here?</text>
