My question is for the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources and Minister for Resources and Northern Australia. Will the Deputy Prime Minister outline to the House the importance of reliable and affordable energy to drive growth in agriculture? Is he aware of any threats to existing and future jobs in the regions, including in the electorate of Calare?
