Last week, I travelled to Collie in regional Western Australia to meet with workers, local leaders and community organisations who are shaping Collie's next chapter. It's a powerful reminder that the successful transition is not something that happens to a community; it's something that you build with them. I was proud to attend the Just Transition Working Group alongside Minister Tim Ayres and my state colleague the member for Collie-Preston, Jodie Hanns MLA, who are strong advocates for Collie and for ensuring that the community is genuinely at the centre of all of our work. The message was clear from the room. People want stability, secure long-term jobs and to see new industries take root in Collie, not somewhere else. This is exactly what the Albanese Labor government is delivering. It is a real plan, not a $600 billion fantasy cooked up by those opposite. This is a plan where Collie sees the transition and is part of the national responsibility, and it's this government that keeps showing up, keeps listening to workers and keeps investing in something we can all be proud of.
