My question is to the Minister for Energy. In September the government announced it would support Australia's four oil refineries, including Viva, which employs 700 workers in my electorate. Since then, BP has announced the closure of its refinery in Western Australia, with the loss of 650 jobs. Labor is keen to support a well-designed package, but this critical industry can't wait forever. When will the government finally deliver on its September announcement so even more workers don't lose their jobs?
