What I would say to you is that we are supporters of the resources sector. We are supporters of jobs in the resources sector. We are supporters of jobs in Western Australia. I might remind you how Western Australia has benefited from the opening up of the China market—you might want to remember that—under this government.

What I would say to those opposite is: why are you doing a Scott Morrison again? We saw how he stuffed up the process on PEP-11. That's what happened. Now we have Mr Dutton doing the same thing because he wants to play a stunt. Now, let's be really clear. The Western Australian branch of the Liberal Party is desperate to try and claw some seats back. Western Australians know that they will cut everything but their taxes, so they're trying to find another scare campaign. (Time expired)
