Thanks, Senator. Future Made in Australia is about bringing new jobs and opportunities for future generations of Australians to communities in every part of our country. It's about making sure that we're delivering on Australia's potential and our future comparative advantage in our national interest. I know that, conceptually, the team over there struggle with all of those concepts. Comparative advantage, the national interest—these are all issues that they are entirely uninterested in. But we have the best renewable resources, here in Australia, in the world. We have all of the critical minerals that will power the future economy not just for us but for our trading partners. And we are determined to get on with it. We are determined to deliver a policy program that will deliver investment in all of Australia's regions and all of Australia's outer suburbs for industrial capability that delivers for the country.
