My question is to the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction. Can the minister confirm that his statements to the parliament now offer three reasons for why he held a meeting with the then Department of the Environment in 2017: (1) somebody wrote a letter six months after the meeting that was addressed to somebody else; (2) somebody wrote a letter three years before the meeting that was addressed to somebody else; and (3) he had a conversation with a bloke in Yass? Isn't the only consistent interest here his own?

That question shows the disdain that those opposite have for the farmers of Australia; the contempt they have for the farmers of Australia! I'll always back our farmers. I will always back our farmers; I do it every day. I refer to the comments that I made in my comprehensive and detailed statement earlier today.
