Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:36): Thank you, Senator Pocock, for your question. As you're aware, the government will provide $1.5 billion in planned equity to support the development of the Middle Arm precinct together with $440 million for regional logistics hubs along key transport links to connect Katherine, Alice Springs and Tennant Creek to Darwin. One thing I want to be clear about—and this is sometimes lost in the debate—is that this investment is not an investment in fracking, and it's very disingenuous that some people continue to ignore facts and fail to engage in the detail of the proposition the Australian government has put to the Northern Territory government. What we are proposing is to make an equity investment in common use marine infrastructure that includes specialist product wharves, modular offloading facilities for manufacturing and dredging of the shipping channel. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WATT: In fact, contrary to what many people are saying, our funding will go towards infrastructure that supports industries that are critical to meet our commitment to net zero. Those industries include hydrogen and the manufacture and export of lithium batteries. I know it suits the Greens party and a range of other people to characterise this investment as one thing, but in fact this investment is actually critical to meet the commitment we have, and I thought certain other people had, to reaching net zero— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WATT: including by supporting hydrogen development and the manufacture and export of lithium batteries. The proposals involved include a hydrogen facility using solar energy; green ammonia production; critical minerals processing for use in energy storage batteries and precursor battery materials; and the manufacturing of these products. The truth is that gas remains an important energy source for Australia and our trading partners during the transition to net zero and decarbonisation. A lower CO2 emission liquefied natural gas export facility is also one of the proposals. This is about moving towards net zero, not against it. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I called the end of the chamber to order several times. I remind you that questions and answers when they're asked need to be done so with silence from the chamber. Senator Pocock, first supplementary?
