Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:33): The first point to make is that that is a hypothetical question, Senator Hanson. Under the terms of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility— Senator Wong: Mr President— Senator CANAVAN: I'm not making a point of order, Senator Wong. Senator Wong: No, I'm making the point of order! Senator CANAVAN: Well, go for it! The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order. Senator Wong: Mr President, my point of order is that if it's a hypothetical question it's clearly outside of the standing orders. The PRESIDENT: I didn't hear the question as being hypothetical. The minister's answer is in order. Senator CANAVAN: Under the terms of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility, which this parliament approved last year, loans can be provided to projects but equity cannot, Senator Hanson. The proposal before the NAIF that was, as I said, applied for by the Queensland government and that was encouraged by the Queensland government is for a loan to help open up this investment. Now, we can reasonably disagree about how this should happen, but I just want to see the jobs happen. I just want to see this opportunity come to North Queenslanders. Now that we're so close to making this happen, it has been threatened and put at risk by the actions of the Queensland Labor Party. The Premier of Queensland has admitted that she has a conflict with the creation of jobs in North Queensland. I would suggest to the Queensland people that there is one easy way to remove that conflict of interest and that is to remove the Queensland Premier! If we remove the Queensland Premier, the conflict of interest against jobs is gone and we can get on with it, create these jobs and create economic opportunity in North Queensland. (Time expired)
