What I have said is specifically related to the question asked. This is about growing jobs, about growing economic activity, about building international competitiveness and about ensuring that mining production actually grows. But it is also about a fair go—a fair go for the Australian community and for what are the Australian people’s resources. This is about ensuring that we share the benefits of the mining boom, ensuring that we can provide resourcing for superannuation, ensuring resources for infrastructure and ensuring resources so that the economic benefits of this industry are spread right through the Australian community. It is about a fair go—something this opposition is not interested in. (Time expired)
