I'm asked about fuel. I remind you that the federal energy minister on 11 February 2021 said the Altona closure 'will not negatively impact Australian fuel stockholdings'. Who was that? Was it Mr Taylor? It was Mr Taylor! So I do want to remind you, Senator, that you come in here now complaining about fuel refineries when four out of six closed under you. The issue is that four out of six closed under you. You know that, you know what has happened and you also know that this government and this energy minister have ensured that we have more fuel now than we have had in 15 years.
