Supply Chain Workers

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): Supplementary: in the minister's own answer he provided to me last week, he says, 'The campaign is aimed at current GM Holden employees, GM Holden employees who have left within the past 12 months'. Can the minister tell us whether he actually misled parliament last week when tabling this answer, or doesn't he know about his own program? It is your answer, minister.

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) (14:28): I will have a look at how the answer was worded, but the fact is we are taking responsibility for the supply chain workers, and Holden are doing the same for their workers. I'm very happy if there's some spillover from the information we're giving that helps Holden workers.

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Dawkins, if you can allow your leader to make a supplementary question.
