How Australia’s fuel crisis is about to get worse

How will the Australian petrol shortage affect you? Anthony Albanese’s address to the nation warned Australia’s fuel crisis will only get worse, with the petrol shortage likely to increase over the coming months. “The months ahead may not be easy. I want to be upfront about that,” the Prime Minister said in his speech. Australia directly imports only a small amount of crude oil from the Middle East, but up to 70 per cent of its refined fuel, including petrol and diesel, is sourced from Asian refineries that do rely on the Strait of Hormuz. So how much worse will Australia’s fuel crisis get? It’s not just petrol prices increasing or struggling to find fuel at your local servo - fuel impacts almost every aspect of Australians' day-to-day life, and you could start seeing a lot more of that. Here’s a breakdown of everything from how the fuel shortage will affect your grocery bills, whether you’re working from home or the office, and potentially even how often your garbage is collected. #fuel #breakingnews #iranwar #auspol
