My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Hundreds of Victorian farmers, community members and volunteer firefighters travelled to Ballarat in their utes, tractors and fire trucks last Friday to protest Labor's renewable energy policies, where the risk of transmission towers and renewable energy infrastructure is threatening the futures of regional communities. Speaking at the Bush Summit, the Prime Minister was heckled and booed when questioned about protecting rural communities. The Prime Minister told farmers:

I'll continue to engage, but I won't bullshit people.

Minister does the Prime Minister's no-bullshit policy mean the government will start telling the truth and release the modelling of the true cost of Labor's 100 per cent renewable rollout?
