QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:14): Senator, again I would say to you that I have outlined in my answer to questions from Senator Dowling some of the measures we are taking. I have indicated to you that we recognise there are more measure that will need to be taken, and we will deal with that responsibly and soberly.

We need to both deal with seeking to shore up supply—I've described how we are seeking to do that—but also recognise the ways in which any disruption to supply flows throughout the economy, including the industries you outlined. The government will be very cognisant of that.
