QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:02): I understand that the National Farmers' Federation and fertiliser industry representatives— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Interjections across the chamber are disorderly. If you want to have a conversation, go outside.

Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: I understand the National Farmers' Federation and fertiliser industry representatives were part of the meeting earlier this month that Minister Ayres has spoken about. We will continue to engage with the industry.

One of the priorities in the near term, although not immediate, will be to seek to restart domestic urea production. Senator Ayres is engaged on that issue, particularly in relation to the Western Australian facility. I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
