I thank the member for Cook for his question. Indeed there are supply issues for select petrol stations around Australia. We've acknowledged that. We've acknowledged that that's the case. I will ask the minister to add, but what we're doing is actually constructively working through everything that is possible to increase supply—everything that is possible, whether that be what we did with changing fuel standards for both diesel and petrol, whether it be making sure that the 20 per cent that we released goes to petrol stations particularly in regional Australia or whether it be the measure that we announced on Saturday with the energy minister.

Not everyone on that side has been critical of it, it must be said. There are some that have recognised that there is a war going on and that there's an impact of that war, as most Australians understand directly. For example, one said about the measures that we've taken—Andrew Hastie, the Liberal Deputy Leader in the House of Representatives—there's a title for you!
