Show Notes
A two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran has been announced, but experts warn that Australian drivers may not see relief at the pumps until mid-next month or later. The countrys reliance on Asian refineries and the volatile Strait of Hormuz has led to significant fuel price increases, with diesel shortages spiking up to 100% in some areas. Analysts predict that oil production may not return to pre-war levels, with prices potentially staying around $80 a barrel. The situation highlights the need for Australia to diversify its energy sources and accelerate the transition to electric vehicles to avoid future shocks.
