Mike Kelly (Eden-Monaro, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Defence) Share this | Hansard source

I do. In question time today, the minister of energy, in response to my question concerning his relationship to the company Jam Land Pty Ltd, stated that he had a strong interest and was representing the farmers of his electorate. He identified that electorate as encompassing the Monaro and then stated that I had not represented the interests of the farmers of the Monaro. Firstly, of course, the Monaro is not in Hume. Secondly, I had caused my staff to research whether or not there had been any issues raised with me concerning this grasslands issue at the heart of this matter. We have not received a single concern from any constituent in Eden-Monaro. The only concerns that have been raised with my office have been in relation to the minister's behaviour.
