Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:34): I thank the senator for that question. Our coal sector is very important. As I said, it exports a huge amount of resources— Senator Hanson-Young interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Point of order, Senator Williams? Senator Williams: I am trying to listen to the answer from Senator Canavan and all I have heard through the whole three questions is Senator Hanson-Young interjecting. Could you ask her to be quiet so that I can listen to this very interesting answer, please? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Williams. I remind all senators not to interject during the answering of a question and to listen to the minister in silence. Minister, you have the call. Senator CANAVAN: Thank you, Mr President. As I was saying, our coal industry contributes $34 billion in exports to our economy. It is the second largest export in our country, and, while those exports are very important, we should also seek to consider to use those resources in our nation to create good, high-paying jobs for Australians. Coal does not get clean on the boat. If it is clean to be used overseas, it is clean to be used here, and we should be taking advantage of that resource to develop our industry and our manufacturing sector. As we develop the coal resources of the Galilee Basin, they amount to an enormous opportunity to build on the strong metals manufacturing industry we have in North Queensland. We have the minerals and the low-cost energy sources and we should be smart enough as a nation to harness them to create jobs for Australians.
