Automotive Workers in Transition Program

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:33): Supplementary based on the minister's answer: subsequent to the announcement that GMH was leaving South Australia and Australia, a former executive of GMH said that the preliminary planning for the closure and exit of manufacturing of GMH in Australia had happened 'quite a period before the announcement'. How then does the minister say that it is the fault of the opposition or the Liberal Party?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:34): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. Quite simply because every single person who was involved in it before the Liberals got in say so. Every single person.
