Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:10): My question is to the Minister for Regional Communications, Senator McKenzie. Yesterday, when asked about the Prime Minister's last-minute changes to his energy policy, the minister said: I’m not going to comment on something I haven’t seen the detail of, we are going to take that to the National Party party room, we’ve got a meeting at the Lodge where I am assuming we will be briefed on that tonight. And post that briefing, post discussing with National Party colleagues and party room I will be much more comfortable in discussing those changes. When and how did the minister first become aware of the further changes the Prime Minister made to his energy policy on Friday?
