Shane Jones says the Government's new Fuel Security Plan will ensure there's a reliable source of fuel in case of global or domestic disruption. 

The plan focuses on four key areas centred around resilience against supply shocks. 

Fuel importers will be required to hold minimum levels of diesel and jet fuel, and the Government will support domestic fuel alternatives. 

Jones, the Associate Minister of Energy, told Mike Hosking it's vital people and businesses can continue to access fuel, no matter what challenges the future brings. 

He says there needs to be a plan to ration and move the economy forward in case there's a big geopolitical event.
