Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (14:48): The South Australian Treasury estimated that the Whyalla Steelworks needs roughly $3 billion. Since then, KordaMentha have found GFG has run the Whyalla Steelworks into the ground. A variety of packages and amounts have been mentioned, ranging from $1 billion to $2.4 billion.

How much Commonwealth funding will be made available to support fixing up Whyalla and, given that manganese from Liberty Bell Bay is vital in steel production, are some of these funds being considered for Liberty Bell Bay?
