NICKEL INDUSTRY
402. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for State and Industry
Development, Jobs and Trade:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that this will be the third major industry to shut down in the minister's electorate since he has been in government,
when will he take meaningful action to prevent the complete destruction of existing downstream manufacturing in Western Australia?

AnswerView source ↗

I ask the member: when will he stand
up to his national leader and publicly denounce his position on the production
tax credit? When will the member publicly come out? The member has already been
dumped as a member of Parliament—I think disrespectfully so. Now is the
member's opportunity. I will appeal to the Leader of the House to
suspend standing orders so the member can stand and condemn Peter Dutton for
being anti–Western Australia, anti–Western Australian business,
anti–Western Australian jobs and anti–renewable energy industry
based on critical minerals.
The SPEAKER : That concludes
question time.
