You don't have to look further than those opposite to see what's standing in the way of the production tax incentive for critical minerals. The coalition opposed it within minutes of budget night and labelled it 'corporate welfare for billionaires'. That's what they did. Well, the Future Made in Australia legislation has now passed the House, with 45 Liberals and Nationals speaking against the bill and refusing to support the production tax incentive. The five Liberal senators from Western Australia will have an opportunity to speak on this legislation, and I am looking forward to you, Senator Brockman, and your colleagues supporting our production tax incentives.
