Tanker carrying Russian oil set to dock in WA despite sanctions, campaigners say
According to DFAT, despite the sanctions of sanctions against Moscow, Ukrainian and anti -Russian oil campaigns, a few goods are prohibited when “imports, purchasing or transportation” is exported from Russia or caused by them ”. This includes oil and oil products.
Seferis left the Jamnagar refinery in India full of oil two weeks ago and will reach Kwinana’s exterior-perth suburbs until 4 am on Sunday.
The Jamnagar Refinery is fed by Russian crude oil, and 55 percent of its 2025 stocks come from Pariah.
This means that imported oil from Russia can fuel Australian vehicles on the road.
Alarm was upgraded about a “emptiness ve, which enabled Russian oil to be purchased and sold in Australia, and local campaignists and parliamentarians immediately called for action.
Independent Federal MP Andrew Wilkie expressed the problem on Thursday and said to Defense Minister Richard Marles, neden Why are the gaps in our sanctions so big?
“In July, two ships were reported to be placed in the Gulf of Botany, and there are 175,000 tons of gasoline using Russian oil up to 55 percent of the Jamnagar refinery in India,” he said.
“So these ships carry approximately 90,000 tons of Russian gasoline paid by the Australians and will help Putin’s war in Ukraine.”
Mr. Marles, the question, has greatly avoided focusing on the sanctions fulfilled.
“The sanctions, which are the subject of the problem that the member asks, are an important part of that we are ready to stand with Ukraine,” Marles said.
“And our government will be with Ukraine.
“I know that the people of Australia will stand with the people of Ukraine unless Ukraine solve this conflict according to their conditions.”
Maliken has recently been closed in the European Union, which banned the import of refined petroleum products of Russian crude oil against Russia.
The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organizations called for Australia in a similar way.
“This decisive action closes a prominent and deeply exploited gap that allows Russian crude oil to enter global markets through refineries in third -party countries.
“We call on the Australian government to take a similar action and to close this gap in Australia’s own sanction regime.
“Since February 2023, Australia imported Russian crude oil of $ 3.7 billion as a component in refined petroleum products of Indian refineries – Tax revenue sent approximately $ 1.8 billion to the Kremlin.
“This flow of profit directly helps to finance Russia’s wild war against Ukraine.”
