Senator DAVEY (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (14:44): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Water, Senator Ruston. Can the minister please advise the Senate how the Liberals and the Nationals plan to position Australia as a leading supplier of critical minerals and rare-earth elements and how this will create jobs and boost investment in the mining industries, while meeting the growing global demand for new energy technologies required in a modern economy?
