Just because the Deputy Leader of the Opposition does not like the answer, that does not make it not a straight answer. Straight up, I support Australian jobs and the Roy Hill agreement will help us create Australian jobs—that is a good thing. I support training outcomes—that is a good thing. I support jobs for Indigenous Australians—that is a good thing. And we will keep working in enterprise migration agreements to make sure that Australians are always at the front of the queue and that they are always the ones who get the opportunities flowing from these resource projects as a priority. That is why we will create a jobs board and make use of it, conditional for future agreements, and we will be strengthening oversight, because we will always put Australian jobs first despite the negativity of those opposite.
