COPPER AT RISK DUE TO LABORâS DELAY

To grow Queensland, we need a robust economy, with strong mining and agriculture, sensible regulation, lower taxes, great roads, targeted government policies and investment, and more well-paid jobs.
As a representative of all Queenslanders, a large part of my role is reminding governments that a healthy Queensland makes for a strong Australia.
As part of Northern Australia, Queensland â especially regional, rural and remote parts â has a major role to play in defence, tourism and meeting the worldâs need for our resources.
That is why I am focused on growing Queensland for you.

I want to start my remarks by reaffirming that the Coalition is a strong and ardent supporter of the resources sector, and is committed to the future of mining in this country.
Today, the Government has finally accepted the Coalitionâs advice to include nickel in the critical minerals list. Senator Susan McDonald, Shadow Minister for Resources, has highlighted that despite calling for nickel to be included in the Critical Minerals List in June last year, it has taken Labor an unfolding crisis to act.
The sight of the Queensland Premier laughing when asked by a journalist about youth crime should outrage everyone.
But itâs no use campaigning for Labor to crack down on criminals â their own party rules prevent them from doing so.
