Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Agriculture and Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:44): Thank you, Senator Smith, for your question, and for your very proud advocacy of your home state and northern Australia. To date, the NAIF has committed $1.4 billion in investment across northern Australia, supporting projects which are forecast to create more than 4,000 jobs and $3 billion in public benefits. NAIF has now approved loans to six projects in WA to a total of $307.8 million. More than 1,300 jobs will be created across these projects during construction and operation. I'm pleased to announce that the Australian Aboriginal Mining Corporation has today secured a Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility loan to develop its first iron ore mining project 80 kilometres north-west of Newman. This $12.5 million loan from the NAIF will help fund the nation's first substantially Indigenous owned and operated iron ore mine, a project that will support hundreds of jobs in the Pilbara. This project will create more than 120 new jobs during construction and will support around another 120 ongoing jobs during its operations. As Australia's first substantially Indigenous owned and operated iron ore mine, First Iron will also offer the region's Aboriginal community significant employment opportunities. The project will provide iron ore to Fortescue mining group's Cloudbreak operations, with the first delivery of ore expected to happen by mid-next year. It's projected to run for at least five years, producing between two million and three million wet tonnes of iron ore each year. The NAIF loan will help to build a range of new supporting infrastructure, including accommodation, a bore field, a crushing plant, and a 55-kilometre haul road to connect Great Northern Highway to the Cloudbreak mine. It's a significant project to demonstrate the NAIF's vital role in delivering infrastructure, creating jobs and boosting the economy right across northern Australia. The PRESIDENT: Senator Smith, a supplementary question?
