The federal Budget next week will include an Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package to protect our nation’s energy interests. As part of that package we are announcing we'll provide more than $10 billion to secure Australia’s near term fuel and fertiliser security, establish a permanent Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres, and lift the Minimum Stockholding Obligation by around 10 days for every type of fuel. This is all about securing more fuel for Australian motorists and industry and more fuel security for Australia’s economy.

In the upcoming Budget, we’ll continue this government’s record of responsible economic management by saving more than we spend and banking all upward revisions to revenue.
