Greg Hunt (Flinders, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water) Share this | Hansard source

The opposition support the Fuel Quality Standards Amendment Bill 2009. We also happily lend our support to this particular amendment, the reason being that it simply refers to a 14-day emergency provision and it ensures that, even if the application to have it reviewed is not successful, it will lapse after those 14 days or any appropriate extension. So it is not unreasonable. It is designed to help, in cases of emergency, provide fuel security. I would simply make the point that in the broader context we are seeking to work towards higher quality but lower emission fuels through better intensity, and that is a goal supported by both sides of this House.
