My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Ayres. Fuel distributor Gretta Barton from Bartranz Petroleum says the wholesale fuel price spikes following the Middle East conflict are the worst she has seen in 30 years times by 100. She says her company would normally distribute around one million litres of fuel a week but can now collect just 50,000 litres a day. Minister, is Ms Barton telling the truth about the crisis on the ground, or is this government's response to her, 'It's enough from you, I reckon'?
