Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:15): We've heard directly from Meals on Wheels Australia that the rising cost of fuel and its unavailability in some areas are already impacting services around the nation. If this continues, it could have a serious impact on older Australians who rely on Meals on Wheels for their nutrition and their safety.

What is your government doing to ensure Meals on Wheels can keep feeding older Australians as the fuel crisis becomes more acute?
