QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator AYRES (New South Wales—Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science) (17:09): Senator Canavan has indeed mischaracterised what the owners of that facility said. They said this week that they were unable to secure power contracts—coal, renewable or otherwise. I know that you will continue to do that.

How much can a koala bear, Senator Canavan? This government will keep working on this issue, as you would expect that we would. The PRESIDENT: Senator Canavan, first supplementary?
