22nd Jun 2021, 1:46 PM – Senate Fuel Security Bill 2021, Fuel Security (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2021 - Second Reading - Agree with the bill's main idea
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of reading the bills for second time, which is parliamentary jargon for agreeing with the main idea of the bills. The Senate can now discuss it in more detail.
What is the bills' main idea?
According to the bill homepage, the bills were introduced in order to:
- establish a minimum stockholding obligation for corporate entities that undertake certain activities (broadly, importing and refining) in relation to certain transport fuels to hold a minimum quantity of those fuels nationally; and
- enable a production payment for refinery operators (referred to as a fuel security services payment) to provide an adjustable cent per litre payment to refineries in return for a commitment to continue refining until at least 30 June 2027.
