19575 (2026). Lan Pham to the Minister of Agriculture: What disruptions, if any, is the Minister aware of from the past month related to fertiliser for agricultural, horticultural, or viticultural operations as a result of increased fossil fuel prices and/or fossil fuel supply disruptions?

Hon Todd McClay: I am advised that fuel and fertiliser supplies remain sufficient, although high prices of fuel and other inputs are putting pressure on primary sector businesses. Primary sector businesses are experienced at managing cost pressures and uncertainty and are planning for issues that may arise.
