The Government Says Don't Panic. Farmers Say Otherwise

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the Middle East war on fuel supplies and its implications for Australia.

Following along from our conversation last week, we talk about how war in the Middle East can have such a huge impact on us here in Australia. Why are fuel supplies disrupted, what does it mean for us right now and for the months ahead... and why should we even care? We need to pay attention because that's how we can be prepared.CONNECT WITH US Rustic Spirits Email List: https://bit.ly/rustic_spirits_email_list Check out our Patreon and join the Rustic Spirits Community: / rusticspiritsco
