QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McKIM (Tasmania—Australian Greens Whip) (14:23): Well, none of that constitutes price gouging. Minister, the price and availability of fuel is the No. 1 topic of conversation around this country, and the biggest current domestic impact of the war that Labor thought was such a great idea and has joined Australia to. Why does the government think it's okay to bullshit the Australian people about what you're doing about petrol prices?

The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, I'm going to ask you to withdraw that. Senator McKim: I withdraw.
