The Albanese Labor government's production tax incentive isn't just supported by the resources sector; it was developed in consultation with them. It's no wonder that the WA Nationals are supportive, and that includes the Nationals candidate for Bullwinkel, Mia Davies. Yes, she has welcomed downstream incentives. The leader of the WA Nationals, Shane Love, has said it is essential not just for Western Australia and not just for Australia but for the Western world to pursue production tax incentives like this. And it's not just the Nationals. Chalice Mining, who are developing a mining project in the Bullwinkel electorate, have hailed Labor's budget as providing crucial support to critical minerals.
