I look forward to a productive debate on this motion, and I am willing to consider amendments to get this motion through, because nothing could be more central to our future economic prosperity than understanding how we manage the mining boom. It is incumbent on all of us to focus our efforts on that task. The Australian Greens and I will continue to advocate for a proper mining tax based on that proposed by Treasury and the Henry review, and we will continue to press for a sovereign wealth fund. I commend the motion to the House.
