QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DOWLING (Tasmania) (14:05): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. The conflict in the Middle East is disrupting global supply chains, impacting the ability to purchase fuel on the global market. This is driving up fuel prices and compounding cost-of-living pressures.

How is the Albanese Labor government delivering timely and meaningful relief to households and businesses, and how will the government's decision to temporarily lower the fuel excise deliver further relief?
