The coalition take Western Australia for granted, just like they have taken Western Australia's mining revenues—which underpin our national economy—and tax revenue for granted. How will they pay for their $600 billion worth of nuclear power plants?

In contrast to the coalition's 'dig and ship' mentality, the Albanese government is committed to investing in climate action, to working with other nations to address current supply chain insecurity for critical minerals, and to investing in skilled jobs and in regional communities. It is also committed to getting a bigger and better economic return on what we mine. I'm proud to support this bill and to stand up for a future made in Australia.
