QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (14:42): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. On 10 March, Senator Wong told the Senate that there was not a fuel supply problem; just unusual demand behaviour. On 11 March, you said exactly the same thing.

Minister Bowen now calls it a national crisis. Minister, which is it? Will you apologise to Australians for the weeks of denial while the browsers ran dry?
