My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator Ellison. My question concerns petrol sniffing and the eight-point plan for the rollout of non-sniffable Opal fuel in the Central Desert region. Can the minister tell us how successfully Opal fuel is being taken up by providers within the region identified in the eight-point plan and if measures are in place to enforce retailer compliance? Is the minister aware of reports that three roadhouses within the identified region are still stocking sniffable fuel, including Ti Tree, Rabbit Flat and Tilmouth Well? What action is being taken to address this?
