The member for New England in his contribution last week—always worth listening to—said:

If your plan was so good, there are some very big companies out there, multiple billion-dollar companies, and these people would be lined up at the door to come to Australia. Siemens, BMW, Hewlett-Packard, Rolls-Royce, General Motors and General Electric would be lined up saying: 'We're going to Australia.' … Not one of them wants to come here.

Siemens and Ampcontrol, a leading Australian provider of energy solutions, announced a collaboration agreement to work on technology solutions for battery energy storage and grid applications for the Australian renewable energy market.
