Title
Questions without Notice — Economy- Questions without Notice - Economy - Stop MP Joyce from speaking
Description
<p class="speaker">Michelle Landry</p><p>My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources and Minister for Resources and Northern Australia. Will the Deputy Prime Minister outline to the House how the government is committed to the long-term development of our resources sector and the economic prosperity of regional Australia? Is he aware of any threats to existing and future jobs in regional Australia?</p> <p class="speaker">Barnaby Joyce</p>- The majority voted against a motion to stop Deputy Prime Minister [Barnaby Joyce](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/watson/tony_burke) from speaking, which means MP Joyce could continue contributing to this debate.
