QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator STERLE (Western Australia) (14:50): My question is to the only competent minister representing a prime minister since 2013, Senator Wong. Last night the Treasurer announced Australia's fuel security and resilience package in the federal budget, which will help to immediately secure more fuel, strengthen Australia's supply chains and build long-term resilience.

Can the minister explain why acting now to strengthen Australia's fuel resilience is so important?
