Never again should we be at the mercy of foreign nations, at the end of the global supply chain.
That’s why the QLD Fuel Security Plan will restore our ability to drill, refine and store our own fuel.
It will also protect Queenslanders against shortages and sudden price spikes that hit families and farmers hardest 👇
⛽️ Unlocking oil reserves - helping reduce reliance on imports and stabilise prices by fast tracking approvals to extract fuel from Queensland’s Taroom Trough, a process we started before this crisis.
⛽️ Refining more fuel here in Queensland - more fuel processed locally, keeping petrol costs lower and more predictable.
⛽️ Boosting fuel storage capacity - protecting against shortages and sudden price spikes that hit families hardest.
⛽️ Removing state taxes on fuel price rises - delivering immediate savings every time Queenslanders fill up and permanently locking in 50 cent fares on public transport.
⛽️ Improving transparency - backing States and Territories in pushing Canberra to publish a national dashboard with incoming fuel shipments to plan ahead for future pressures.
This is a vision for our State to ensure we can control our own destiny again.
