Senator McDONALD (Queensland) (14:31): My question is to Senator Ruston, the Minister representing the Minister for Resources, Water and Northern Australia. Northern Australia is abundant in opportunity, providing the resources and an array of natural environments for agriculture and tourism, and an accessible Asian market. From Cloncurry to Tennant Creek to Townsville, from Burdekin to Broome, from Carnarvon across to Cairns, and all the places in between, we have the right people and natural assets to drive the north's future. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McDONALD: Can the minister update the Senate how the Morrison-McCormack government is helping to build northern Australia— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McDONALD: and ensuring the north has a key role in rebuilding as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic? Senator Watt: Tell us about the NAIF. The PRESIDENT: Order! Particularly while the question is being asked—ideally at all times but particularly while the question is being asked.
