That is just not true. We know the federal government is
incredibly supportive of our resources industry. That is why Anthony Albanese has been to Western Australia
more than all the past four Liberal Prime Ministers combined . In fact,
he is the only Prime Minister in history to have taken his cabinet to the
Pilbara. He understands that the Pilbara is the engine room of the nation's
economy. He understands the important role that the gas industry plays in
Australia's economy and to our renewable energy future as an important
transition fuel for not only Australians, but also our South-East Asian and
North Asian trading partners. We will continue to do what we can to advocate
for our important LNG industry, which has been a generator of so many jobs and
so much prosperity for Western Australians. We will continue to do everything
we can to secure the renewable energy future for Western Australians. That is
not going to be done by sharing a chardonnay at a particular function in Perth;
that is done by getting your boots on the
ground and getting the red dirt on them, like my entire cabinet did on the
weekend.
The SPEAKER : I give the call to the member for
Pilbara.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please, members! Just wait a moment,
member for Pilbara. I know that it is a celebration for you all; however, when
I give a member the call, I am not expecting either nasty noises or very happy
noises. It should just be the member getting to ask the question.
