My question is to the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Minister Ayres. In January 2025 the minister visited Tomago Aluminium to announce a $2 billion green-aluminium production credit, declaring, 'This is what a future made in Australia looks like.' Given Tomago now faces closure with the possible loss of more than 1,000 jobs, is this what the future made in Australia really looks like under this government—manufacturing closures and job losses?
