00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the update. I'm Michelle Stevenson.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: Well.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: The Energy Minister has lashed out at people's stockpiling and

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: reselling fuel as un Australian. The government is preparing to

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: tap into Australia's fuel stockpile, releasing seven hundred and sixty

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: two million leaders of petrol and diesel as regional areas

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: run dry. But Chris Bowen has slammed those cashing in

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: on panic around a potential fuel shortage.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: I asked Australian spy, as much fuel as you need,

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: no more, no less. There are other people I've seen

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: it on Facebook marketplace filling up Jerry cans. Bunning's running

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: out of Jerry cans, going off Facebook marketplace selling fuel

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: at inflator prices. That is un Australian.

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Well Liberal leader Angus Teller says measures like this should

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: have happened sooner.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: This minister has been asleep at the wheel. I mean,

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: I've been hearing from my constituents and others around Australia

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: about their inability to get fuel supplies far truckers and others,

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: and Chris Bowen simply wasn't listening.

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Meantime, China, which is Australia's largest supplier of aviation fuel,

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: is halting oil exports for this month as it waits

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: out the war in the Middle East. The move could

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: put further pressure on airfares with an increase concern about

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: future shortages. It's not expected to impact US though for

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a few weeks yet. The GSTA pot has been carved up,

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: with wa the big winner, its share rising from eight

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: point three percent to nine point one which equates to

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: just over nine billion dollars. In South Wales, Isworth's off

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: though set to receive its lowest share since the tax

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: was introduced. The state to pocket one point seven billion

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: dollars less than their neighbor's Victoria, and that's despite having

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: a larger population. Well, one of the big four banks

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: has already jumped the gun, hiking borrowing costs for homeowners

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: before the Reserve Bank meets next week. Ainz has revealed

35

Speaker 1: it will lift its fixed rate by a quarter of

Speaker 1: a percent, and our own Bays Blues Music Festival has

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: been canceled just three weeks out the event, citing increasing

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: operating costs and a challenging environment for live events, with

00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: ticket sales down. Sport entertainment to next to Sport and

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Queensland could be at risk of losing twenty thirty two

41

Speaker 1: Olympic rowing and canoeing comps to Sydney. Sports officials believe

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: the Kroc infested Fitzroy River isn't suitable for Olympic standard competitions.

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Now in your Entertainment News and Zendaia has similarly confirmed

44

00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: the actor flashing her hands to the crowd with what

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: appeared to be a gold band on that finger. When

47
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: she was asked about the wedding boy, George just dished

48
