Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Deputy Leader of The Nationals and Minister for Regional Services, Sport, Local Government and Decentralisation) (14:36): That is not such a curly one after all, because I think the greatest risk to the prosperity of our nation, and through hampering the productive capacity of the regions, of the agriculture sector, of the mining sector, is those people opposite, because of the dirty deal that they will do with our economy-wrecking Greens, who actually want to see the end of the mining industry, employing hundreds of thousands of Australians in the regions. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator McKENZIE: Why are the CFMEU forestry and mining divisions not saying to you, 'What is your preference deal?' and why are you actually going to stand with these people who are going to put your own members out of work? There is one reason, if you're a regional Australian, to back a Liberal-National coalition and the budget: we will look after your families, we'll look after your jobs and we'll provide a safe, prosperous future. (Time expired) Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order, Senator Wong! It's the last question time for quite a while. Everyone take a deep breath. Senator Watt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: That's what you keep telling me, Senator Watt. Senator Bernardi.
