Updates to previous petitions
Thank you, Chair. I think that, every time this petition has come to committee, I've insisted we keep it open because Tassia was just tenacious and is tenacious. I think she's stolen a tiny piece of all our hearts. I've never met anyone with so much power…

New Petitions
Thank you, Chair, and I'd like to thank the petitioner. I'm not quite sure where we as a committee can go with this petition. I've read the notes and I can see the Minister for rural affairs has said 'it is for public bodies to take their own procurement…

Thank you, Chair, and thank you for joining us this morning. It's been a really interesting panel. I have some questions on electricity costs and infrastructure. How much more energy intensive is the EAF than the blast furnace? And do you have any concerns…
