The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
“I’m pleased to rise and deliver this response on behalf of the federal coalition to affirm our support for the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Amendment Bill 2026, extending the NAIF for a further 10 years, from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2036. This is a bill which stems from the independent review into the NAIF chaired by the Hon.”
Jess Walsh ALP
“I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I seek leave to have the second reading speech incorporated in Hansard. Leave granted.”
Paul Scarr LIB
“The Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility, the NAIF, is something we should be talking about—and, whilst the minister’s here, I note we should also be talking about trade. I, unfortunately, couldn’t attend the Trade 2040 Taskforce because the bells were ringing. Senator Farrell: Would you like a copy of my speech? Senator SCARR: I’d love a copy of your speech, Minister.”
Nita Green ALP
“I’d like to start by thanking senators for their contribution to this debate on the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Amendment Bill 2026. I’ll keep my comments brief because I know there are more amendments for us to work our way through this morning.”
