My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Following the Albanese Labor government's job-destroying decision to block the million-dollar McPhillamys mine, Regis Resources yesterday wrote down the value of their project by $192 million, declaring it unfeasible. This company has been smashed, and over 800 jobs will now be ripped from that community—all because of this decision by your Labor government. How does this minister defend her job-destroying decision during a cost-of-living crisis?
