My question is to the Minister for Trade. Andrew Forrest said that the Western Australian government's refusal to build a key rail corridor set Western Australian mining back 23 years. Every inch of rail coal line in Queensland was built by the government. Whilst applauding the government on environmental issues in the Galilee, the government can build this rail line tomorrow. The real problem—the failure by Adani to raise capital—is the same problem as with Rinehart and Palmer. Build it tomorrow, Minister. (Time expired)
