Could Australia Really Run Out of Fuel?
About this episode
The episode discusses the risk of Australia running out of fuel amid rising prices and panic buying due to global supply chain tensions.
Is Australia at risk of running out of fuel? Panic buying has surged, prices are spiking and some regional stations are already running dry as tensions in the Middle East rattle global supply chains. This week on the podcast, Ben Westcott joins Rebecca Jones to unpack the data behind the headlines — how much fuel Australia actually has, where the system is under strain and why the ripple effects could hit everything from supermarket shelves to farm output.
