What we did, Senator Canavan, was implement the Minimum Stockholding Obligation. We delivered a national fuel reserve. You never did nothing. All talk, no action—that's the problem. Silent—utterly silent—over the course of the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government, when nothing ever happened. We went backwards in fuel security terms under your government, and Mr Taylor was more responsible than any other person for that utter failure of policy action and for leaving Australia weaker, with no reservation strategy, no strategy on gas, no strategy on fuel, no strategy on diesel. Yet there you are, trying to defend the indefensible.
