The Greens have called on Scott Morrison to join the US and UK who have overnight announced they will be boycotting Russian oil imports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the last decade Russia has exported over $4.3 billion worth of crude oil to Australia, with $86 million last financial year, approximately 1% of Australia\u2019s crude oil imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Greens were the first to call for a Russian oil boycott on the 27th of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greens leader, Adam Bandt MP said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPutin\u2019s Russia is a petrostate, with 40% of its revenue coming from oil and gas. Australia should stop buying Russian oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding before our eyes, the last thing Australia should be doing is fuelling Putin\u2019s war machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Greens Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Senator Janet Rice said:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBoycotting Russian oil is a small but practical way that Australia can help, and ensures that Australia isn\u2019t doing business with a dictator who invades his neighbours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Greens are demanding an immediate ban on imports of Putin\u2019s oil.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Greens have called on Scott Morrison to join the US and UK who have overnight announced they will be boycotting Russian oil imports.
