It's not a new industry—well you may ask, member for Solomon! Indeed, the Rudd and Gillard government had a fund, a policy and an industry support plan for the video game development industry, which could be worth a lot more to this country. It's actually a critical enabler of defence technologies, education, mining, agriculture and all sorts of things. But guess what? Tony Abbott and this Liberal government cut all that support.

Turning to the port of Darwin, and other people have spoken about the port of Darwin, what a good idea to buy back the port of Darwin! This was the government that presided over the lease! You don't know whether to laugh or cry at this government. Why should anyone believe a single word of this report when you have a look at the record of eight years of failure?
