Thank you for your protection, Madam President. Just yesterday, on ABC's Insiders, the minister said:

… we've got our refineries working full pelt and not exporting any diesel or petrol … we are continuing to see our fuel supply being strong.

If Australia's fuel supplies are so strong, why over the weekend were 107 petrol stations in New South Wales without diesel, impacting farmers in Farrer and beyond, and 42 stations were without a single drop of fuel?
