Senator Waters, as I was saying, you go and face the people you are meant to be representing in this chamber, the people of Queensland, including the people of Central Queensland, and you go and explain to them why you are trying to destroy their jobs, to destroy their economic prospects and the economic prospects of their children and their grandchildren by stopping the Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin. You explain to those people, Senator, why a mine that will lift tens of millions of Indian people out of energy poverty is in your sights. (Time expired)
