Australia consumes 5,400 megalitres of oil products a day, and we have the capacity to refine only 1,300 megalitres. Australia is exposed and unable to supply its transport needs. Once we run out of diesel, the trucks will stop. Food will stop being delivered and that social cohesion you often drone on about will break down. Minister, will you take responsibility for fuel price inflation and potential fuel rationing owing to your government's failure to run a proper fuel reserve? Don't give us uniparty excuses.
