My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. In July, two vessels reportedly docked in Botany Bay, with some 175,000 tonnes of petrol from the Jamnagar refinery in India, which uses up to 55 per cent Russian oil. So these vessels effectively carry some 90,000 tonnes of Russian sourced petrol, paid for by Australians, which will help fund Putin's war in Ukraine. Why are the loopholes in our sanctions so big you can drive a tanker through them?
