Mr BOWEN (McMahon—Minister for Climate Change and Energy) (14:26): Not only did I say and do I say that Australia's fuel supply is secure; every honourable member should say that, because that's the truth. The responsible truth to tell the Australian people is that we continue to receive fuel supplies as expected. In the last 10 days, fuel supplies have arrived in Australia in Townsville, Brisbane, Cairns, Broome, Geelong, Gore Bay, Kwinana, Gladstone and Mackay. Those fuel supplies have been coming in as expected. At least 16 vessels have already arrived this month, and there are many more on the way, with 25 to 30 more vessels expected this month. The chief executives I've spoken to today have told me that there are no indications that that fuel won't arrive. In addition, we have the minimum stock obligation fuel supplies, which, contrary to what the Deputy Premier of Queensland so irresponsibly told Queenslanders and Australians yesterday, have not been accessed and are still there to be called upon if and when necessary. So it is the responsible thing to do to say to Australians that our fuel supplies are secure. At the same time, we have acknowledged that we are facing supply chain issues in regional Australia in particular and that we've seen demand for the Perth terminal, for example, increase by 165 per cent. Regardless of who is in office, regardless of what petrol companies are doing, that will put pressure on, and we should be honest about that. That will put pressure on supply, and we will see localised shortages, and we are. But we should also reassure Australians that industry and government working together can ensure that the supply of fuel to Australians is secure and there is no need for panic buying. We've paid our thanks to the member for Maranoa, who has said something very similar, and he has behaved responsibly. Not every honourable member opposite has taken the same approach. When honourable members opposite question whether Australia's supply of fuel is secure, they are undermining the national interest, because our fuel supply is secure. Mr Tehan: My point of order goes to direct relevance. The minister was asked: why are Australians like Nick running out of fuel? I'd like you to come back and answer that question. The SPEAKER: The minister has been providing a lot of information regarding the direct question that he was asked, including the amount of fuel, the terminals, where it's— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! If you want me to deal with a point of order, it's not going to help if everyone's yelling at me. If the minister is providing direct information about how much and where it's arrived—and I've listened carefully to what he is saying—he is being directly relevant. Maybe you want more information. I can't make him provide more information to you. I wish I could, but I don't have that magic power. I only have the power that the standing orders allow me. He is being directly relevant and I'm going to ask him to remain directly relevant for the remaining 27 seconds. Mr BOWEN: Thank you, Mr Speaker. When we're faced with an international crisis, it is not an economic opportunity or a business opportunity, and nor is it a political opportunity. It is a responsibility to work together—government and industry and, where possible, government and opposition. As I've said before, if the opposition has a constructive suggestion to make, I'll listen to it with open ears. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business is seeking to raise a point of order. It had better not be a frivolous point of order— Mr Tehan: It's not. The SPEAKER: I remind the manager that he's also got the matter of public importance today. Mr Tehan: Speaker, I seek leave to table the front page of the Australian Financial Review, which has— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: That's fine. Of course. That's why I like to check everything and make sure we're doing it properly. The manager is not to hold the newspaper up and use it as a prop, which he did then to try and get a photograph taken of himself, which is highly disorderly. The Leader of the House? Mr Burke: Leave is not granted. The SPEAKER: I remind the Manager of Opposition Business one more time that he has the MPI today, and I'm sure he wants to be here to discuss it.
