In New South Wales, out of 2,400 service stations, there are currently 247 without diesel and 61 with total stock out. In Queensland, where we have roughly 1,800 service stations, there are 77 with no diesel and 39 with no unleaded petrol. In Victoria, where we have 1,627 service stations, there are 82 with no diesel and 40 with no petrol. In South Australia, where there are roughly 700 service stations, we have 20 without diesel and 13 without unleaded petrol. In Western Australia, where there are 771 service stations, there are 18 without diesel and 14 with no unleaded petrol. In Tasmania, where there are 294 service stations, eight are without diesel and 15 with one or more grades unavailable.
In the Northern Territory, there are 180 service stations. Five are without diesel, four have no unleaded. The Northern Territory government does advise me that some of those would be as a result of road closures and flooding, but, in the interest of full disclosure, I do provide those figures. The ACT has five without diesel and two without unleaded. As previously advised, those shortages in the ACT are normally filled within the same day.
