My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Minister, as the conflict involving Iran drives oil prices higher amid an effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Australians are already paying more at the bowser and in the supermarket. Official analysis released under the Albanese government has highlighted that Australia's fuel reserves are dangerously low by international standards, with roughly 26 days of petrol, 25 days of diesel and 20 days of aviation fuel onshore—far short of what a serious crisis would demand. Yet this week the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, told Australians, 'We have a good stock of petrol in reserve.' Can the Prime Minister advise who is telling the truth, the government's own fuel security experts or the most incompetent energy minister we have ever had, Minister Bowen?
