I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the support that the Queensland Government is giving to the coal industry in that State;

(b) acknowledges that this support has created thousands of employment opportunities, which in turn has greatly nourished the economies of the towns and communities associated with that industry; and

(c) further notes the balance that the Queensland Government is achieving between these investments and significantly important environmental protections.

Question agreed to.
