Drawing on America's emergency fuel reserves isn't the same as having actual fuel security in Australia, the opposition has declared.
The Morrison government is negotiating with the Trump administration to access millions of barrels of oil from America's own fuel reserve, as Australia hunts for a way to boost dangerously low levels of fuel held on domestic soil.
But Labor says Australia needs a strategy that gives fuel security onshore.
Australia has enough petrol and crude oil to last 28 days, well below the 90 days mandated by an international agreement.
