QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:51): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. The members of Independent Food Distributors Australia have said, 'The government's energy policy has and continues to increase the price of food.' Minister, if cost-of-living relief is the Labor Party's policy, why do food distributors say your energy policy is increasing the cost of food for everyday Australians?
