I'll take the interjection on Tomago very happily, because the solution there is not Mr Taylor's solution. Mr Taylor's solution was to go to industry, when he was a consultant, and tell industry to go to China. That's what Mr Taylor said. In his presentation, when he was a consultant, what he told industry to do, what he told the aluminium sector to do, was to go to China. Those were his words. 'Go to China.'

The Albanese government is working with the aluminium sector, fighting day after day, working with the New South Wales government to deliver new electricity generation and new transmission, because what you left them with was a death sentence for those jobs.
