What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Petrol prices in Australia rose to an average of $2.42 per litre as the war in Iran continues. Concerns exist over Australia's fuel stocks, which currently hold 41 days of petrol and 33 days of diesel, especially as the United States is considering a ban on diesel exports. To address supply vulnerabilities, the government is reviewing whether to require petroleum companies to purchase Australian-made fuels currently sold overseas.
