Show Notes
Western Australias energy minister welcomes a brief respite from fuel supply tensions, as the US-Iran ceasefire and reopened Strait of Hormuz ease concerns. Despite this, stockpiling efforts continue. BP shipments are steady, with ten loads scheduled for April and extra diesel en route. Fuel shortages have decreased, with only twenty-one stations missing fuel types, down from Easter levels. The government is urging major suppliers to share stock details, threatening fines for non-compliance. Business leaders call for action, including freezing car registration fees, offering fuel vouchers, and prioritizing essential services. Opposition leader Basil Zempilas questions the delayed excise cut for diesel, which remains high at three dollars twenty-one cents per litre. Stateside and local leaders monitor supplies, preparing for future fuel challenges.
