My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Australians are facing growing uncertainty in the global economy—particularly, the impact of conflict in the Middle East on fuel prices—with the Treasurer noting that the conflict and its consequences will be a defining influence on the upcoming budget. Can the minister update the Senate on how these global economic impacts, especially on fuel, are shaping the broader economic outlook ahead of the May budget?
