This reform is about making sure that we can deliver affordable gas. Now, I spent a long time before I came into this parliament as a trade union official in heavy industry and the manufacturing sector, and I watched facilities after facility close because Australian prices rose over that period.

And if poor old Senator Shoebridge was remotely interested in the future of Australian industry, he should be going there. He should try talking to the people who run these firms or represent workers in these firms.
