Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Fly-in-fly-out working arrangements do nothing to support and grow regional communities; in fact, they decimate communities by eliminating opportunities for jobs, business and economic growth. Is your government aware of the economic and social damage caused to regional communities, including those in my home state of Queensland, by your endorsement and support of mining projects with 100 per cent fly-in-fly-out arrangements?
