QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:16): We all want farmers to plant. Senator McKenzie: You can't farm without fuel. Senator WONG: Well, that is why we have moved to shore up those supply chains both for fuel and for fertiliser—both urea based and ammonium phosphate based fertilisers.

I would just make this point: we all understand the consequences of this conflict in our economy, including in agriculture. And the government made a very conscious decision to ensure that the EFA powers were not just directed at fuel but were directed at the other lines—supply chains—including for urea, which are so critical for the Australian economy and for our food security.
