FUEL CRISIS - What you NEED to know, with Expert Economist Evan Lucas

About this episode

Expert economist Evan Lucas discusses the implications of the current fuel crisis and its potential effects on the economy and consumer behavior.

Experts are calling this the worst fuel crisis in history. And despite petrol station closures and record costs to fill the tank, there are some effects that are still yet to be seen. Expert economist Evan Lucas helps break down exactly we could expect - the products we might see disappear from our supermarkets and stores, the downstream effects of $4+ per litre, how it could change policy and behaviour for good, and the situation's spooky similarities to what we saw during COVID.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
