Energy Security

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Supplementary question arising from the answer: can the Leader of the Government indicate when the first meeting of the National Energy Crisis Committee of cabinet will be held, and whether a face-to-face briefing to the opposition and crossbench members will be done because this is such an important issue?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:40): I am sure it will be held as soon as it possibly can—

The Hon. J.S. Lee: No date? It's an important issue. There's no date?

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: —and I will seek to see what the processes will be.
