QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator O'NEILL (New South Wales) (14:24): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. The conflict in the Middle East has resulted in extreme volatility in global fossil-fuel markets and supply chains. In response, the Albanese Labor government has been focused on ensuring Australia's fuel, energy and fertiliser security.

How has the Albanese Labor government acted to ensure that Australian households and businesses are shielded from this volatility?
