Show Notes
Diesel prices in New South Wales have skyrocketed, with some regional areas reaching $3.30 per liter, forcing fishing co-ops to ration fuel. The Sydney Fish Market has implemented a temporary fuel levy, while co-ops along the coast have cut back on fishing trips and stopped selling fuel to recreational users. Farmers are also feeling the pinch due to shortages of diesel and urea-based fertilizers, with some considering reducing livestock numbers. Vegetable growers have scaled back plantings due to uncertainty, and dozens of service stations ran out of diesel, highlighting the strain. Officials warn that prolonged high oil prices could ripple through the economy, prompting calls for greater energy independence in New South Wales.
