About the episode
Australia faces critical fuel shortages in regional areas as the government's decision to temporarily allow higher sulphur fuel sales awaits final paperwork approval. Service stations in communities like Happy Valley in northwest Victoria have run out of fuel, forcing rationing to $50 per vehicle, while farmers warn they cannot wait much longer for supplies. The crisis has sparked debate over fuel reserves, refinery closures, and concerns about flow-on effects to the plastics manufacturing industry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
