First of all, you probably need to look at your priorities, okay? We do not have a gas reserve policy here in Australia, and we are about to hit a crisis down on the east coast which is going to cost gas users a lot more money. How do you explain that? Where are your priorities? Should you have not looked at a gas reserve policy and started to put legislation through on that first, before looking after your mates? That is exactly what you are doing.

Senator Hanson-Young interjecting—

That would be wonderful. And what I want to know is whether you have any intentions, and your time line, of putting in a gas reserve policy in this country.
