00:02Firing away with a supersonic missile launch.
00:11This is going to go boom for the Queensland economy.
00:15And boom for Western Queensland.
00:18The government is giving more than $7 million to defence tech company Black Sky Aerospace
00:24to build a missile test launch site at its 3 million acre property near Thargaminda.
00:30And once this show gets on the road you'll see a hell of a difference in this little town.
00:34I don't think Brisbane would be particularly happy with rockets being launched
00:38and missiles being launched from their backyards.
00:40The private facility is set for take off in 2028.
00:44These rockets are going to go above 328,000 feet or 100 kilometres so into space.
00:49What would you say to those critics who maybe aren't so happy about the millions going towards this?
00:54Get a life.
00:55There were also missiles flying in budget estimates, this time over highlighters.
01:01The government's promised half a billion dollars in budget improvements
01:05which includes, among a range of things, potential cutbacks in stationary.
01:10How many highlighters are you going to have to cut, Minister, to meet your target?
01:14It is a job for all of the Queensland Government to be calm and methodical.
01:22How can you lead the charge to reduce costs on highlighters and stationery
01:27when you seem to have to highlight everything?
01:31I'm happy to restate our savings program.
01:35I'm happy to stay in place for the future to in the future.
01:35I'm happy to stay in place and keep coming from them.
01:37I'm happy to stay in place for the future of everyone now.
