Jim Chalmers (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

A reminder to members who are interjecting that Hansard records the names. The people will know who stood up for Australians and their industries and who didn't in this place today.

We know that this is a complex issue. Some of the issues in the energy markets have been building for some time, and they've been exacerbated by a war in Europe; everyone knows that. The solutions are complex as well, if we're frank about it. But the proposition for this parliament is very simple today, and the clock is ticking on those opposite. We can support energy bill relief, or you can oppose it. We can protect our manufacturing industry, or you can destroy it. We can save Australian jobs, or you can surrender Australian jobs with your vote today. We stand for families and pensioners, for Australian industries and for Australian jobs. Let's get this to the Senate and let's get this done. (Time expired)
