Senator DAVID POCOCK (Australian Capital Territory—Independent ACT Whip) (14:49): We've heard the same argument with gas—jobs, jobs, jobs—and yet what I hear from people is that they can't actually find workers to fill jobs. When it comes to offshore LNG, Treasury tells us that we haven't had a single cent of petroleum resource rent tax. We've now got critical minerals.
