My question is to the Prime Minister. Australian businesses are still being offered gas contracts that are double or triple the price of their expiring contracts. The gas trigger must be pulled by 1 November. Given that the High Court may not decide whether Senator Canavan or the Deputy Prime Minister are even qualified to be members of parliament by then, why won't the Prime Minister stand his deputy aside and put someone else in the job that can pull the trigger now?
