We have invested, or have made decisions to invest, in 15 projects supporting 4,000 jobs across northern Australia. I'm very proud of some of these projects, which wouldn't have happened without the northern development agenda of this government. For example, one project, First Iron Ore, will be the first Indigenous owned iron ore mine in this country, backed by this government and supported by this government. It's going to create 120 jobs in construction and 120 jobs in the operation of the mine, helping Indigenous rural communities get a head start.
