00:00What we're hearing from farmers is not about the price, it's about the actual fuel coming
00:04to the bowels and coming to the fuel tanks in our regional towns.
00:08And the Premier's telling us, as early as today, is that the supply is not an issue.
00:12So what we're asking for is for the government to come up with a supply assurance so that
00:16we're not having to do these market interventions.
00:18We would make sure that the big gas producers in Western Australia live up to their 15% domestic
00:25gas policy regime so that we can produce ammonia and fertiliser in the state of Western Australia
00:31so our farmers and our miners can have certainty here at home, not rely on uncontrollable factors
00:37like a war in the Middle East.
