Senator WONG ( South Australia — Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate ) ( 14:13 ): I will respond to that question, which, really, Minister Bowen responded to in the press conference today. He said we don't have a supply problem; we do have a demand challenge, where there is greater demand, particularly in some areas, than previously. I would encourage— Senator McKenzie: We're rationing in some areas. Senator WONG: We see Senator McKenzie again doing what she often does, which is to try and create fear and misinformation. I would really encourage the opposition to be very careful about how they handle this issue. In terms of what I am advised, I can say this: we have as much fuel coming through our ports now as we did before the war began. I'll say that again: we have as much fuel coming through our ports now as we did before the war began. However, we do understand that there are some regions and farmers who are having difficulty getting the fuel that they require. As the minister said in the press conference with the Prime Minister today, the primary problem is not supply; the primary problem is changes in demand. You have some responsibility in helping to deal with that. If the country engages in spikes in demand because people are panicking, because they are being encouraged to panic by certain shadow ministers and others, that is not a good thing for the market. Senator Hume interjecting — Senator WONG: I wasn't actually looking at you, Senator. I was looking over there. I'm also advised that the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, the minister for agriculture and the minister for industry are holding talks with suppliers and the farming sector, I believe, today—it may be tomorrow; I'll check which is correct—because of issues raised around diesel, fuel and fertiliser. The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Sullivan, first supplementary?
