The government will not oppose this motion as we are proud to support Australia's gas industry and infrastructure, which is securing the future of our manufacturing and export industries and complementing the integration of more renewable energy into the market. However, the government advises the Senate that the short deadline put forward to provide the material will need to be extended.

Question agreed to.
