I'm very happy to. The government says fuel stocks remain strong and has dismissed Australians' concerns as 'misinformation', yet Andrew Brown, the owner of a petrol station in the New England region, said he has enforced a fuel limit to ensure adequate fuel supply for the residents and to have supply left over for emergencies, stating:
We could have lifted our prices and been out of fuel in five days but instead we are trying to ration it for up to 15 days.
Minister, if there is no fuel supply problem, why are regional Australians being left without fuel—or is this what the government now calls misinformation?
Not that you care, Minister Watt.
