My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas exports. This includes halting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for more than 20 per cent of global oil and gas trade. Minister, to what extent is Australia exposed to international energy market disruption? Can the minister confirm that Australia's fuel supply is secure?
