QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator PAYMAN (Western Australia—Australia's Voice Whip) (14:33): The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air found that 55 per cent of the crude used at India's Jamnagar refinery comes from Russia. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Australia has imported US$2.3 billion worth of fuel from these refineries, with an estimated $1.3 billion flowing straight back to Russia in taxes.

Can the minister assure Australians that this money will not be contributing to the invasion of Ukraine?
