My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's pre-election comments on Melbourne radio where he said:

I think any government which makes it harder to manufacture cars is making it harder for us to continue to be a first world economy because without cars … we are not really a sophisticated economy anymore.

Given Toyota's announcement yesterday, does the Prime Minister agree that, by his own test, it means that Australia will no longer be a sophisticated economy?
