QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr HASTIE (Canning) (14:57): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Defence. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed to shipping since the start of the war in the Middle East. Given that 20 per cent of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, alongside LNG and alumina, can the minister advise how long he expects military efforts will take until this critical choke point is reopened?
