My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. In this week's budget, your government allocated $1.5 billion for the Middle Arm industrial zone in Darwin Harbour. Middle Arm proposes petrochemical manufacturing using gas from the Beetaloo basin. Unless that changes, this is a subsidy for the fossil fuel industries. Will you guarantee the Middle Arm precinct will not produce petrochemicals or gas based manufacturing?
