Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government and Territories and Minister for Regional Communications) (14:00): Senator Canavan did indeed make those comments at the time. Senator Canavan's case and the issue of dual citizenship arose at a time when he didn't know the full facts. Subsequently, further facts became available. Clearly, Senator Canavan took the precautionary step of standing aside at that point in time. Further to that, more advice became available and, on very strong advice, the Prime Minister has asked both Barnaby Joyce, the Deputy Prime Minister, and I to stay on in our ministerial roles. I would point out that, yet again, we see from those on the other side another opportunity to ask a question about the issues that are important to the Australian people being missed. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! On my left! Senator Collins, you have a colleague on her feet raising a point of order. Senator Bilyk, a point of order. Senator Bilyk: Mr President, it was a pretty simple question: was Senator Canavan right to do so? A yes or no would do. Could you make it clear? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Bilyk. There is no point of order. Senator Nash has explained why she believed Senator Canavan did what he thought was right. Senator Nash has been totally in order. Senator NASH: May I continue pointing out that those opposite again miss an opportunity to ask a question about issues that are important to the Australian people. Perhaps the tactics team opposite needs a little bit of help. A question that would be important to the Australian people is: 'Could I ask the minister what the coalition government is doing to improve energy affordability and reliability?' And my answer would be very clear—this coalition government is doing much to improve it. We are providing real solutions around Snowy Hydro 2.0, that the people of this nation see as a nation-building project. We've seen the Prime Minister and the energy minister— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Point of order, Senator O'Sullivan. Senator O'Sullivan: I'm right next to the affected minister. I am keenly interested in what she has to say. I can't hear a word. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator O'Sullivan. I invite all senators to respect both the questioner and the answerer in question time. I need to hear the questions and the answers also. Senator Nash, you have 18 seconds. Senator NASH: The Prime Minister met with energy retailers to ensure that we can save consumers money and to make sure that we have appropriate arrangements in place to ensure gas security as well. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Bilyk, a supplementary question.
