The issue was simply ethanol promotion. Does the government policy include supporting companies which produce ethanol demanding that petroleum producers and distributors in Australia be required to purchase from those companies a petroleum mix which includes ethanol, so as to maximise those producers’ profits, or is it about encouraging the promotion and sale of ethanol to those companies in Australia?
