QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATERS (Queensland—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:23): On another unfair tax handout the Greens have called out for decades, scrapping fuel tax credits, which give cheap diesel to big mining companies, would free up around $8 billion a year, which could be used for cost-of-living relief to households. If Labor is going to cut spending to deal with inflation, will you cut this unfair fossil fuel subsidy for big mining companies?
