My question is to the Minister for Resources and Water. Does the minister support the government providing a $250 billion loan and insurance facility for the resources sector?

I thank the honourable member for her question. I say to the honourable member that the government provides support right across a number of sectors through a number of different facilities, whether it is the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility, the national interest account or the RIC. The Commonwealth continues to provide support where it is needed right across the country.
