QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): Given today there are 845 service stations around the country that have run dry of at least one type of fuel— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order across the chamber! Yes, far out, Senator McKenzie. I've been calling for order because I would like Senator Hume to be able to ask her question in silence.

That is right across the chamber—and particularly at you. Senator Hume, please continue. Senator HUME: Minister, given today there are 845 service stations running dry of at least one type of fuel, at how many service stations across the country will Australians actually be able to find fuel that has dropped 26c per litre over Easter?
