I move:

That the Senate notes that:

(a) the Australian mining industry generates $138 billion per annum in exports to Australia‘s economy;

(b) Australia‘s mining industry exports include: copper, gold, silver, indium tin oxide, alumina, silica, cobalt, carbon, aluminium, nickel and magnesium;

(c) every smartphone depends on the mining of these resources; and

(d) opposition to Australia‘s mining industry would restrict the supply of these mineral resources, and opponents of Australia‘s mining industry should therefore refrain from using these smartphones and tablets.
