About the episode

Australia has declined to send naval vessels to participate in any global mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite pressure from US President Donald Trump for allied navies to assist. The Albanese government is managing domestic fuel supply concerns by easing fuel standards and lowering stockpile limits, releasing approximately six days of petrol and five days of diesel reserves, while Transport Minister Catherine King confirms there is no short-term threat to aviation fuel supplies despite China appearing to halt jet fuel exports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
