I thank the honourable gentleman for his question. It is the case that there can be real pressures on regional supply of diesel while our national fuel supply is in very good shape, which is the point the government has been making and which, frankly, we should all make. There's an obligation on all of us, and the Leader of the Nationals has been, to his credit, saying that we do have good supply of petrol and diesel and jet fuel to Australia, and there is no need for panic-buying.
