00:00I think there's acute challenges as it stands today in regional New South Wales.
00:05It's not so much of a supply issue as a distribution issue.
00:09New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has convened a fuel security roundtable with industry leaders,
00:15warning regional shortages are emerging and outlining new steps to manage supply.
00:21There's key intelligence and information that the government can gather
00:24to help fuel companies and the Commonwealth government better distribute that fuel
00:29so that we're not seeing acute shortages in regional towns.
00:33Regional businesses and petrol stations have already reported running short,
00:37prompting the government to prioritise getting fuel to areas that need it most.
00:42Minns said retailers will be required to update availability through the FuelCheck app,
00:48allowing motorists to track where petrol and diesel are in stock.
00:51We know that this is obviously a global challenge.
00:54It affects all corners of the globe and these supply challenges are affecting economies worldwide,
01:01but there are practical things we can do in New South Wales today to prepare for the future.
01:06Good morning.
