I thank Senator Green for her question. Today's announcement is another feather in this government's cap and the minister's cap as they work to rebuild Australian manufacturing following a decade of neglect under those opposite. Our Future Made in Australia agenda is designed to strengthen our existing manufacturers and help new ones grow. It focuses on the priority areas where we have existing advantages thanks to our world-leading expertise and access to raw materials or cheap green energy.

We are doing all of this despite the relentless negativity from those opposite. They voted against establishing the National Reconstruction Fund and energy-price relief for manufacturers. They opposed our support for the resources sector like the production tax incentive. (Time expired)
