My question is to the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Senator Ayres. Global energy markets and supply chains are disrupted due to the war in the Middle East, and these disruptions include the international market for fertilisers. The Middle Eastern production makes up a large share of the global total, and natural gas from the Middle East is a key feedstock for production elsewhere. In the face of these ongoing disruptions and shocks to global supply chains, the Albanese Labor government remains focused on our national resilience and sovereign capability. Minister, what is the status of Australia's fertiliser market?
