Liquid Fuel Supply (Minimum Biobased Petrol Content) Amendment Bill 2022 / Transport and Resources Committee

"The objectives of the Bill as stated by its sponsor, Mr Nick Dametto MP, Member for Hinchinbrook, are to expand on the provisions enacted by the Liquid Fuel Supply (Ethanol and Other Biofuels Mandate) Amendment Bill 2015, by further amending the Liquid Fuel Supply Act 1984 (the 'Act') for the following purposes: 1. To increase two‐fold all penalties for non‐compliance by liable fuel retailers with the State's bio‐based petrol mandate, which presently sits at four (4) per cent of the total volume of all petrol sold; and 2. To require that fuel retailers take reasonable action (on a continuing basis) to ensure that the bio‐based petrol blended fuels (referred commonly to as E10) they sell contains a minimum of nine (9) per cent ethanol and is advertised as such." -- from Introduction.
