INDUSTRY—OIL SUPPLIESSenator Milne, pursuant to notice of motion not objected to as a formal motion, moved general business notice of motion no. 173—That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) in 2006 the Australian Greens instigated an inquiry by the Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport into Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels, (ii) neither the former Howard Government, the former Rudd Government nor the Gillard Government have implemented the nine recommendations of that inquiry's tripartite report, with only `Recommendation 6' relating to incentives for fuel efficient vehicles even having been considered,
(iv) a series of diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks and published in the week beginning 6 February 2011 reveals growing confidence that Saudi Arabian oil reserves have been overstated by as much as 40 per cent and that the world's biggest oil exporter may not be able to supply enough oil to the global market to prevent prices rising dramatically; and (b) calls on the Government immediately to develop a national plan to respond to the challenge of peak oil and Australia's dependence on imported foreign oil. Statement by leave: The Minister for Small Business (Senator Sherry), by leave, made a statement relating to the motion. Question put. The Senate divided— AYES, 5 Senators— Brown, Bob Hanson-Young Ludlam Milne Siewert (Teller) NOES, 23 Senators— Adams Birmingham Brown, C (Teller) Cameron Cormann Farrell Faulkner Feeney Fielding Fifield Furner Marshall McEwen Moore O'Brien Parry Polley Pratt Sherry Stephens Troeth Williams Wortley Question negatived. | |
