Show Notes
Australia faces a potential fuel crisis due to Middle East tensions disrupting supply lines. With most petrol and diesel imported from Asia, refineries there are set to reduce exports. The Albanese government is securing extra shipments and considering lowering fuel standards, carpooling, and tapping national stockpiles. Experts warn of potential flight cuts and diesel rerouting by late April if the conflict continues. Fuel companies remain optimistic, citing trade deals with the US and Europe. Trumps recent speech hints at easing the strait blockade, potentially alleviating the crisis.
