The opposition leader, Angus Taylor, says a Coalition government would double fuel reserves in Australia to at least 60 days, and spend $800m to build a new storage facility.
Announcing a new policy alongside the Nationals leader, Matt Canavan, Taylor said the Albanese government should lift baseline stockholdings from 1 January next year, to get Australia closer to the 90 day minimum reserves required by the International Energy Agency.
This is a plan the prime minister should pick up today. No excuses, no delays. If fuel stops, Australia stops. It’s that simple. Trucks don’t move, supermarkets don’t stock, businesses shut their doors.
We are putting forward a practical plan to make sure that never happens. More fuel in reserve, more storage on the ground, and a country that can stand on its own two feet.
It can get overworked … so then it becomes a question of how are we going to review this process and make it more relevant.
I think there’s a real opportunity for the RSL to lead and provide a better expression that is more tailored and appropriate for the commemorative day that it is.
