In our conversations with our partners in the region, our message has been that we can count on each other. The Prime Minister has made clear the quality and reliability of Australian agriculture and Australian resources, including Australian gas. This has been critically important to the assurances the government has been able to receive for future supplies of petrol, diesel and fertiliser to Australia. As a result of our work, we have new agreements signed with Singapore, Brunei, Korea, Japan and Malaysia to help ensure the continued flow of essential fuels and fertiliser to Australia. The Chinese government has agreed to facilitate engagement with Australian businesses on jet fuel. We know we assure our energy security by working with trusted partners and friends, and we will continue to strengthen our international relationships so as to respond to this unprecedented shock to the global economy.
