Middle East flare-up lays bare Australia's thin petrol buffer

Australia's 41‑day petrol reserve offers some comfort, but the latest strikes on oil export routes and rising global prices show the nation is exposed. Government, industry and households must face the reality that supply shocks will recur and act to reduce vulnerability.

Community angle

Every household and business feels higher prices at the bowser. Knowing Australia has limited strategic petrol stocks should prompt debate about practical steps — from reducing fuel dependence and improving transparency about reserves to strengthening contingency plans for transport, farming and emergency services.
