Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Amendment Bill 2026

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (12:51): No, we're not supporting your amendment, and the mandate, as I set out, lists a number of different sectors. Of course, the NAIF mandate is a direction to the board. We have seen an increase in those types of projects.

We're very proud of the investment that the NAIF is making in northern Australia. But I've been clear. We don't support your amendment.
