Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:50): I thank Senator O'Sullivan for his question—a great fan and supporter of jobs in North Queensland. I can say that we on this side do support these jobs and investment. We support this project going ahead because we want to give North Queenslanders a job. We want to give them an opportunity. There are already nearly 200 people in Townsville at the moment who rely on the Adani project for their job. Just over 100 rely on Adani directly for their job. There are about 80 contractors as well. We've learnt this week that the Labor Party are teaming up to put these 200 people in Townsville out of a job. We've got the former New South Wales Premier and former foreign affairs minister, Bob Carr—Beijing Bob—opposed to these jobs in Townsville. He tweeted this week— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Canavan! Please resume your seat. Senator Hinch on a point of order. Senator Hinch: You know my point of order, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: And you would have heard me calling numerous senators to order. On the last day, I ask those who are regularly interjecting to at least count to 20 before their interjections. Senator Canavan. Senator CANAVAN: As I was saying, we have Beijing Bob out there who tweeted this week and said he's proud to have played any kind of role in killing the project. I doubt that the former New South Wales Labor Premier has spoken to any of the 200 people who are going to lose their job. He is proud. He is proud of doing that. Those are the kinds of people the Labor Party are now teaming up with. All the roads seem to lead in same direction for the Labor Party at the moment. Former New South Wales Premier Bob Carr is speaking as part of leading the Australia-China Relations Institute. Guess who set up the Australia-China Relations Institute? Mr Huang Xiangmo gave Mr Carr a $1.8 million donation to set up the Australia-China Relations Institute. So you've got Shanghai Sam, Beijing Bob and Premier Palaszczuk all teaming up in a Labor-Greens team to stop jobs in North Queensland. The people of North Queensland now realise who is on their side to give them a job, who is on their side to give them a livelihood. It's over here in the Liberal-National Party. The other side have made their decision. They're teaming up with the Greens to stop these jobs in North Queensland. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Before I call Senator O'Sullivan, senators on my left, we've had a request from the end of the chamber that they have trouble hearing the questions and answers. We have eight minutes of question time to go. Senator O'Sullivan, do you have a supplementary question?
