Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Future Jobs and Investment Bill, which aims to support workers in coal-producing regions by attracting investment and coordinating retraining, has been stuck in the upper house since November 2025. Chris Minns conceded that the government's options are limited because of a lack of numbers. He is calling on crossbench and coalition members to at least bring the legislation to a vote.
