Senator CARR (Victoria—Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) (14:38): It is true that there are powerful global supply chains operating within the resources sector, and Australian firms should not be shut out by them; they should be part of them. Project developers who use the lists are trying to cut their costs by narrowing their options. It can in fact be a false economy. When they look past the lists, they may find better products at a better price in Australia, and that is why the government is helping them find Australian suppliers quickly and cheaply. Our Industry Capability Network— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator CARR: Here we go again: the leader of the knuckle draggers faction has come to the fore on this matter. The PRESIDENT: Ignore the interjections, Senator Carr. Ignore the interjections. Just address your comments to the chair. Senator Carr, ignore the interjections; they are disorderly. Senator CARR: Our Industry Capability Network has worked with 17 major projects to identify local suppliers, and what we have seen through that process is that contracts for Australian companies have been yielded, worth some $300 million.
