I thank Senator Cameron. The Minister for Resources and Energy and I today announced new measures, through the $50 million Buy Australian at Home and Abroad strategy. Peter Beattie will promote local industry as a supplier envoy for the resources sector and Dennis O'Neill will also take the post of steel supplier advocate to champion the industry as it works to secure its future. We will also convene a national forum to ensure we can maximise the impact of the buy Australian measures.
