Country Today - March 24th

The Federal Government has set up numerous committees and inquiries into the impact of the Iran War on our fuel, fertilizer and food supplies and prices. While it does have a bit of a feel of Yes Minister about it, we’re look a little closer to see what can be achieved. First up Member of Mallee, Nationals federal MP Anne Webster, wanting more answers on where the fuel supplies are going. Then we’ll look at the ACCC urgent authorization to the Institute of Petroleum and others in the fuel industry to coordinate managing Australia’s fuel supply chain. And just announced a National Food Supply Chain Assessment. And how do grain growers in particular, make the most out of a bad situation?
