QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr WILKIE (Clark) (15:42): My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The Minimum Stockholding Obligation for liquid fuel only applies to diesel, petrol and jet fuel. It does not apply to bunker fuel, which is a specialised marine fuel oil used by the shipping industry.

Minister, seeing as shipping is responsible for transporting almost all of our island nation's trade and indeed Tasmania's trade, will you use your power the Liquid Fuel Emergency Act to bring the same priority to bunker fuel?
