Job Creation

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:01): Supplementary question arising out of the minister's original answer: does the minister acknowledge that the Mitsubishi car plant closed down under a Labor government, and can the minister outline to the house what greater assistance was provided to industry and workers to assist transition after the Mitsubishi closure by a Labor government that was not provided under a federal Liberal government to the proposed closures at Holden?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:02): The Hon. Rob Lucas can try to hide behind our history but, basically, he is part of a Liberal government—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: —that is associated with the Abbott Liberal government—their party mates, their mates in Canberra. It does not matter how he wants to couch these questions: nothing will wash his hands of the stain of the Abbott Liberal government here in South Australia leaving us high and dry. They left us high with the River Murray, they have left us high with car manufacturing and they have left us high and dry in terms of our submarine industry.

The Hon. T.J. Stephens interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Mr Stephens, we don't need a history lesson from you at the moment. The Hon. Mr Kandelaars.
