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

I refer the honourable gentleman to my answer yesterday in which I confirmed to the House the great revelation that the energy ministers had met last Friday and issued a communique, which is not a secret document. For the benefit of honourable members opposite, the communique reads, in part:

Ministers agreed that there are shared responsibilities and it will be critical to work together to maintain fuel security by anticipating risks and enabling timely, coordinated responses. Ministers tasked Senior Officials to regularly report on fuel security and potential responses. Ministers will continue to monitor fuel supplies and work together to respond as the situation evolves.

A communique!
