QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Ms PENFOLD (Lyne) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Yesterday the minister insisted that there is no fuel supply shortage. The Dorney family in Bulahdelah run two timber mills, multiple hauling and felling crews, and a fleet of logging and freight trucks.
In one week alone, their daily fuel costs have increased by $7,800. Their supplier says the problem is not panic buying but fuel shortages at terminals and rationing between customers. Minister, under your watch, why are Australians like the Dorney family, and their business, running out of fuel?
