I give notice that tomorrow I shall move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

  (i) Australia has a propensity to simply export its raw materials and commodities to countries that then profit by doing the value add and selling it back to us, and

  (ii) this approach denies Australia economic activity and job opportunities; and

(b) calls on the Australian Government to adjust policy and support settings to ensure we value add before exporting.
