Fuel supply—Geraldton storage facility
228. Mrs Kirrilee Warr to
the Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation:
I have a
supplementary question. Why did the minister demolish the fuel storage in
Geraldton?

AnswerView source ↗

The fuel storage is
privately owned.
Mrs Kirrilee Warr interjected.
The Speaker: Members! Member for Geraldton, you have
asked a question. Please listen to the response.
Ms Amber-Jade Sanderson: Part-time member for
Geraldton, the fuel storage is privately owned.
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Members! Member for Central Wheatbelt!
Several members
interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Geraldton, please stop
interjecting.
Ms Amber-Jade Sanderson: There is fuel storage across
the state, including within the Goldfields. There are discontinued mines and so
on and so forth. We are going through a sensible analysis of where that fuel
storage is and the associated distribution lines so that we can get it in. That
is the work this government is doing. I know there is deep frustration,
particularly within the Liberal and National Parties, that this government has
managed this issue well and that we are working well with the farming community
and the resources sector.
Mr Lachlan Hunter interjected.
The Speaker: Sorry, minister. Member for Central
Wheatbelt, I am calling you for the third time. Do not interject again.
Ms Amber-Jade Sanderson: It is time the member for
Geraldton backed her own community members and supported the legislation that
this government introduced to crack down on people ripping off her community
members.
The Speaker: Members, you can see the time. Question
time has run way over the time that I would like to see it undertake. The
reason is that there were some lengthy responses from ministers, but there were
also far too many interjections from the opposition that delayed the ministers'
responses. I have really had enough. You need to stop the amount of
interjections that are happening.
That concludes
question time.
