QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:19): The White House has set a strict date of this Friday, 1 August, for when a deal must be done before tariffs are set to take place. Will Australia have reached a tariff agreement with the United States by this Friday, or has the Prime Minister's inability to get a face-to-face meeting with the president now damaged Australia's national interest?
