25630 (2026). Glen Bennett to the Minister for Tourism and Hospitality: What assessment, if any, has she made of the impact of the fuel crisis on costs for hospitality businesses, and what steps is the Government taking to mitigate those costs?

Hon Louise Upston: The Government is closely monitoring economic trends associated with the fuel situation and I am regularly engaging with the hospitality sector to hear directly about current operating environments. The Fuel Response Plan 2026 sets out a clear, phased framework for how Government and industry will work together if fuel supply pressures were to intensify.
