My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Last week, Australia and the United States signed the critical minerals framework agreement. Responsibly exploiting our natural resources, securing offtake and diversifying trade partnerships are worthy aims. But the owners of these resources, the Australian people, are left in the dark about how they will benefit. If the PRRT for other resources is anything to go by, this deal won't be making much from royalties that we collect. What we do know so far is that two companies will receive significant Australian government investment. When can Aussie taxpayers expect more detail about how the deal works for them?
