Summary

Edit

The majority of the Senate voted for LNP Senator Matthew Canavan's motion:

That the Senate notes that:

(a) the Australian mining industry generates $138 billion per annum in exports to Australia‘s economy;

(b) Australia‘s mining industry exports include: copper, gold, silver, indium tin oxide, alumina, silica, cobalt, carbon, aluminium, nickel and magnesium;

(c) every smartphone depends on the mining of these resources; and

(d) opposition to Australia‘s mining industry would restrict the supply of these mineral resources, and opponents of Australia‘s mining industry should therefore refrain from using these smartphones and tablets.

Votes Passed by a small majority

Nobody rebelled against their party.
