Australia now has a “serious national security problem” when it comes to fuel supply — with a report revealing we would have just 68 days of fuel reserves to keep us going in the event of an international crisis.
The conflict in Ukraine this year has cast an unsettling light on fuel security around the world — with nations like Germany being forced to go cold turkey on their supplies from Russia.
The situation was already precarious for Australia, but now new research by The Australia Institute has revealed we have only increased our reliance on imported transport fuels in recent years.
