About the episode
Regional Australian farmers face critical petrol shortages as government regulations delay the release of lower-grade fuel supplies. Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen announced relaxed fuel standards for 60 days to allow higher sulphur content petrol, but approval from Australia's petrol board won't occur until week's end, leaving communities without fuel for approximately two more weeks. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has convened a roundtable with fuel experts to expedite supply solutions for affected regional areas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
