Comments May be attributed to the Leader of The Nationals Shane Love MLA:
After three weeks of sustained pressure, the Premier has finally been forced to admit what regional communities have been saying all along, there is a serious diesel supply crisis crippling regional WA.
The Nationals WA first called for urgent action three weeks ago. The Cook Labor Government dismissed us, laughed at us in Parliament and accused us of scaremongering.
This has been a desperate effort by The Nationals WA and all Western Australians to get an ineffective Cook Labor Government to take the concerns of regional Western Australians seriously.
The focus now must be on action, not words and not taskforces.
We will be watching closely to ensure emergency powers are used to get diesel to those who need it most in regional WA.
