QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:09): Thank you, Senator. The investment announced today by the Albanese Labor government locks in a long-term future for renewable powered low-carbon aluminium—a future that plays to this nation's strengths: clean energy, world-class resources and an existing industrial base.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Colbeck! Senator WONG: It is essential to produce aluminium here. It's a critical component of so much that is manufactured in this country, and we are one of just a few countries that boasts an end-to-end aluminium supply chain.

In an increasingly unstable world, securing Australian domestic production and supporting energy sovereignty are crucial. We on this side are focused on making Australia stronger, safer and more resilient to global shocks, no matter what the world throws at us. The PRESIDENT: Senator Colbeck, when I call you to order, I expect you to come to order.

You are being disrespectful towards me. Senator Sheldon, second supplementary?
