Fuel, Fertiliser, and Fear Down Under - ep314

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential impact of rising diesel prices and fertiliser shortages on the Australian economy.

Are fears of fuel shortages in Australia overblown—or are we underestimating the risks? Gene Tunny is joined by Dr John Humphreys and farmer Peter Rothwell to explore how rising diesel prices, fertiliser shortages, and supply chain stress could ripple through the economy. From supermarket prices to farm viability, this episode breaks down how a global energy shock could hit households and businesses—and whether markets can cope.
