QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McGRATH (Queensland) (14:11): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Minister, a grain farmer has told the North Queensland Register that he has spent more than $1½ million just securing enough fuel to sow this season and that, if supply doesn't hold, he will halve his planting program. Minister, what is this government's plan for if grain farmers halve their planting?
