Show Notes
Australias fuel crisis deepens as the Middle East war strains supplies, prompting the government to consider higher ethanol blends in petrol. Ministers explore options like E fifteen fuel, backed by groups like the NRMA, and ease diesel standards to tap international imports. Smaller mining operations cut back due to fuel shortages, raising concerns about jobs and tax revenue. Industry leaders push for miners to be classified as essential services for any rationing. Farmers warn of food price spikes due to higher production costs from the oil crunch. Energy officials review ethanol boosts for safety and supply gains, with calls growing for a national or temporary push to ramp up blending and production. With all options on the table, these steps aim to steady supplies amid the pressures.
