Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer. I am particularly interested in the regions where the Opal rollout has been recently expanded and the infrastructure there. I would like to follow up by asking a question about the current situation in Alice Springs both in terms of the easy availability of premium fuel and in terms of what diversionary programs are being made available within the town and the town camps. Is the minister aware that Aboriginal youth are still buying premium unleaded fuel directly from some petrol stations in Alice Springs? What is the minister doing to ensure that there are some stringent provisions in place for the purchase of premium unleaded and that service stations are accountable for inappropriate sales of premium?
