I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 326 standing in my name and the name of Senator Rhiannon.

Leave granted.

I move:

(a) recognises the infrastructure projects, including inland rail construction, that the Federal Government committed to delivering in the 2017-18 Federal Budget;

(b) acknowledges that the steel producing communities of Whyalla in regional South Australia and the Illawarra in New South Wales are struggling with high unemployment and low job security; and

(c) calls on the Turnbull Government to guarantee that they will support Australian jobs by committing to a local procurement policy, mandating the use of Australian steel in infrastructure projects committed to in the 2017-18 Federal Budget.
