My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. Experts are now warning that Labor's fuel failure is choking supply and driving up the price of essential building materials like PVC pipes, the pipes that go into every new home and every stretch of basic infrastructure. Industry is experiencing widespread price rises of up to 35 per cent. Labor's failures are blowing out the cost and timing of building critical new homes Australians desperately need, piling more pressure onto Labor's cost-of-living crisis. With Australians already smashed by rising rents, rising mortgages and rising prices, what is the government doing to stop its fuel failure driving up the costs of essential PVC pipes so that the bowsers running dry under Labor today don't become Bunnings shelves running dry tomorrow?
