Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Climate Change and Energy) Share this | Hansard source

We're quoting the National Farmers' Federation and the work we're doing for people represented by the honourable member and people right across rural Australia, because that's the approach this government takes. Dealing with a difficult situation, dealing with an international crisis and dealing with a huge spike in demand, we are working together across the sectors to take whatever action is necessary. That's what we'll continue to do. If those opposite choose to use an international crisis as a political opportunity, it says more about them than us.
