Show Notes

A 2019 national fuel emergency response manual revealed through freedom of information laws details a contingency plan to cap motorist spending at $40 per tank during fuel shortages. State and federal governments have ruled out implementing the rationing plan despite 164 service stations running out of petrol and diesel in a single day. The fuel crisis is causing flow-on effects including Australia Post tripling its fuel levy to 12%, Jetstar cutting services, and waste collectors warning of rubbish pile-ups due to high diesel costs.
