New South Wales today has 178 with no diesel, 48 with a total stock out. Queensland has 55 with no diesel, 33 with no regular unleaded. Victoria has 45 with no diesel, down 20, and 72 with no unleaded, down 70. South Australia has nine with no diesel, 10 with no unleaded. Western Australia has 40 with no diesel, 14 with no unleaded. Tasmania has five with no diesel and nine with some sort of outage. No outages in the Northern Territory are attributable to a lack of fuel supply. In the ACT, currently, there are two with no diesel and one with no unleaded. But, as I said yesterday, I'm advised that these shortages in the ACT are typically dealt with within the hour.
Now, I will continue, as appropriate, to be giving the Australian people updates as I have done for the last month, as do state premiers. This data is collected primarily by the states. The Commonwealth data is shared with the states regularly. The states share data with me regularly, and of course premiers are providing daily updates as well.
