I move:

That the Senate acknowledges the fact that, according to the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics, over the past 12 months over $50 billion worth of resource projects have been finalised across the nation, with increases in production, including over 200 million tonnes of iron ore, 40 million tonnes of coal and more than 1 000 petajoules of gas, creating jobs and boosting the economy of thousands of small businesses and by extension, nourishing the nation's economy.

Question agreed to.
