My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency's report entitled Energy use in the Australian government's operations 2009-10. Is the minister aware that the report showed that energy use and intensity in the Department of Finance and Deregulation has grown by nearly 28 per cent from 1999-2000 levels? How does the minister expect average Australians to reduce their energy use when her own department cannot manage theirs?
