My question is to the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Senator Ayres. The Albanese Labor government is driving new investment in world-class industrial firms in regional Australia. The National Reconstruction Fund recently announced a $75 million investment in Alpha HPA, a high-purity alumina company in Gladstone, Queensland. Minister, why is high-purity alumina such a crucial part of our global tech supply chains? What will the funding mean for Alpha HPA? How many new jobs, in Gladstone in particular, will be generated by this investment?
