Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:51): Thanks for your help, Mr Speaker. I thank the deputy leader for her question. A 'seeking investment' form was available on the NRF website from November. From November the NRF Corporation was in ongoing discussions with a number of businesses about potential investments. The NRF was, by any reasonable definition of the term, open for business and was working with Australian industry. Indeed, by mid-January, over 160— Mr Pike interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will pause. The member for Bowman was told explicitly he was on a warning and not to interject, and he is abusing the standing orders. He will leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for Bowman then left the chamber. Mr ALBANESE: By mid-January, over 160 businesses had already engaged with the NRF. Unlike the previous government, this government is getting on with delivering. We believe in industry policy. We believe in a future made in Australia. We support manufacturing, which is why 100,000 increased jobs is the figure when it comes to manufacturing jobs. We passed this act that was opposed by those opposite and held up for a while by some on the crossbench as well, but eventually we got it passed through both chambers and it is up and running. We passed the act, and we confirmed an investment mandate to help guide how the NRF Corporation should support Australian industry. The NRF board has been appointed. The NRF CEO is already hard at work. The NRF Corporation is already working to secure a manufacturing future for this country. Unlike those opposite, who told the car industry to leave the country, with the consequences that were there— Ms Ley interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition has asked her question. Mr ALBANESE: as a result of losing not just those jobs but the multiplier that that had an impact on in places like Geelong, in places like Adelaide, in places like Elizabeth—and all the car-components companies that also lost, and the skills that were lost there. We believe in a future made in Australia. We believe that we should be manufacturing solar panels here. We believe we should be manufacturing batteries here. We believe that a future made in Australia is linked directly to our national security, so we're not vulnerable to what happens overseas. That is what we're about. Those opposite continue to just get in the way. They oppose all of these initiatives and then say they haven't happened soon enough! Mr Rick Wilson interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for O'Connor is warned. He's had a good go, but he won't have any more lenience shown.
