Mr President, I thank the minister for that very comprehensive answer and I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister inform the Senate how the government’s stimulus strategy and broader economic policies have shaped international perceptions of Australia as an investment destination? What significant new projects are in train and what opportunities do they create for Australian industry? What steps is the government taking to ensure that local firms have the chance to compete for major project work? What is the role of organisations like the Industry Capability Network and the government’s recently announced Australian industry participation package in maximising opportunities for domestic industry?
