I remind the Prime Minister that before the last election he said in Arnhem Land:

Why shouldn't I, if you will permit me, spent my first week as Prime Minister, should that happen, on your country?

Given the devastating impact the closure of the alumina refinery will have on people in this community, including small business owners like Kelly Murray and her husband, who run a bait and tackle shop in Nhulunbuy, why hasn't the Prime Minister been to East Arnhem Land to outline his plan for new jobs for the community, who feel abandoned by your government?
