QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr WILLCOX (Dawson) (15:20): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry and Innovation. Can the minister confirm that the smelters in Tomago, Whyalla, Mount Isa and Tasmania are all either under administration, in crisis talks or seeking government bailouts and that the cost of energy is the reason for this? Mr McCormack interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order!

The member for Riverina will not be here for the answer if he continues with that.
