One Nation will support this motion. A century ago Australia had the world's highest per capita income. COVID exposed our slide down the rankings, in terms of manufacturing and agriculture, that gutted our economic sovereignty, economic independence and security. Labor and the Liberal-Nationals think we need to get back to where we were in February this year. One Nation, though, has always called for a plan to provide an economic environment that drives Australian investment for Australian employers and Australian jobs—lasting, sustainable, secure jobs—a plan for investment in infrastructure to restore our productive capacity, in dams for reliable water, in coal fired power stations to cut $1,300 from annual household electricity costs, and in Australian owned transport; a plan for comprehensive tax reform to stop giving unfair advantage to foreign multinationals who are avoiding company tax; a plan for exiting international agreements that are handicapping industry. Australians have the talent and deserve a plan.
