Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (16:15): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GALLAGHER: Labor will be supporting this motion, but we believe the project has to stack up environmentally. We believe regions in Queensland are crying out for this investment and we support the potential jobs that this project will create, but we do not support taxpayers' money being used— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: On my left! Senator GALLAGHER: on the railway line. It has to stand on its own two feet. Adani have stated that the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility loan is not needed as a prerequisite for the project to go ahead. Like so many important policy issues facing this nation, the government's intention in this area is completely hamstrung by their bungling of the issues on the ground. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Macdonald be agreed to. The Senate divided. [16:17] (The President—Senator Parry)
