The Australian government is a strong supporter of the Australian TCF industry and the many thousands of hardworking Australians that it employs. I understand that some of these hardworking workers have made a trip to Canberra today. And Professor Green, I remind Senator Barnett, has completed his review of the TCF industries in Australia and reported to me last week. The TCFUA has launched its Make it Well, Make it Fair, Make it Here campaign to support its submission to Professor Green’s review. This government appreciates the value of hardworking TCF workers and the contribution that they make to the Australian economy. I can assure the Senate that we will take their interests into account in developing the Australian government’s response to Professor Green’s review.
