Australian coking coal is vital for the production of the world's toughest and most reliable steel that forms bridges, sporting grandstands, residential buildings and so many other structures that need to stand the test of time. Therefore, One Nation remains a strong supporter of coalmines in this country.

One Nation rejects the dangerous precedent set by the New South Wales Land and Environment Court in citing that climate change is the reason for stopping the Rocky Hill coalmine going ahead. We do, however, support the decision of the court, based on the mine's one-kilometre proximity to a retirement village.

In support of coalmines, their workers and quality infrastructure, One Nation will not support this anticoalmining motion by the Greens, who, again, will direct their preferences to Labor at the next election.

Question negatived.
