QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BABET (Victoria—United Australia Party Whip) (14:45): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Given the member for New England has introduced a bill to repeal Australia's legislated net zero target and given the growing public discontent over skyrocketing energy prices, how does the government justify clinging to a policy that delivers neither environmental certainty nor energy affordability for Australian families and Australian businesses?
