I can hear the member for Maranoa saying, ‘Hear, hear!’ Of course, he looks after his resource and coal industries very well. Taken together, these three coal projects are worth about $1 billion. They are working to develop low-emission coal technologies. There are more announcements to come from the LETDF. I know that the other side do not understand how you do business and how business principles apply, but you have to work through business cases to ensure that taxpayers’ money is going to be well spent in developing these technologies.
