My question is to the Prime Minister. When will the Prime Minister take action to ensure that fuel gets to the almost 500 service stations that have run dry?

I thank the member for his question. We have established the Fuel Supply Taskforce. We've convened the National Cabinet. We're engaging with state and territory governments, who are responsible, of course, for distribution issues, but we're making sure that it's coordinated, and I note the media release from, for example, the New South Wales Premier today, as well as the actions that the New South Wales government are taking. Right across the country, we're engaging. I've been having constructive discussions with Premier Crisafulli as well.

Hon. Members:

Order! The Prime Minister has completed his answer. We'll move to the next question. We're not having commentary and we're not having people just approach the dispatch box. When the House comes to order, we'll hear from the honourable member for Reid.
