great electorate of Capricornia. Every day, this government is getting on with the job of doing the right thing by the workers of Australia with not just shipbuilding, fleet building, centred on Adelaide, that will create 2½ thousand jobs and an emissions reduction target, which is not just environmentally strong but economically responsible. What we cannot do is see major projects stopped, frustrated and delayed because of legal attrition.

I point to the Adani project, in the member's electorate. This will create 10,000 jobs. It will involve $21 billion of new investment. It will give power to 100 million people in India. For Queensland's sake, for our sake, for the world's sake, this project must be allowed to go ahead.
