Australias Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is in Singapore to secure additional fuel supplies amidst the Iran conflicts impact on shipping routes. With a potential six-week delay in new oil from the Persian Gulf, the government is implementing a scheme to support big importers like Viva Energy and Ampol in acquiring pricey cargoes. Despite a thirty percent increase in petrol prices, global oil prices have dropped fifteen percent due to the ceasefire, offering hope for relief at the pumps. Fuel companies are diversifying their sources, with over fifty shipments expected this month, and the Energy Minister is urging them to stockpile as much as possible. Australia is leveraging its status as a top coal and gas exporter to Asia to secure more fuel, prioritizing supply security over all else.
