However, the only people that won't support the NRF are those opposite, a reckless indifference threatening not only Australian jobs but Australian capability and sovereignty. Liberal opposition to the NRF would result in us continuing to be reliant on foreign supply chains. On this side of the House we want to see more 'Made in Australia' labels on Aussie made products. That's what we're focused on. We know Australians will back Australian made goods. On this side of the House, Made in Australia; on that side of the House, made anywhere but. There's a big difference.

I have to say, I couldn't help noticing the industry minister from the coalition—I don't know if it's industry minister No. 6; it was like watching a David Jones food hall: you take a ticket, you wait in line and in 300 days another one comes back. Industry minister No. 6, the member for McPherson, said that the NRF would be throwing taxpayer money away. Fiscal rectitude from those opposite, after all the warning that they did saying that that would be the case. They have learnt nothing, support nothing, stand for nothing and will oppose everything.
