Fuel crisis threatens Australia's food supply chain
from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
Australia faces potential food supply disruptions as the global oil crisis threatens to put up to 70% of truck drivers out of business within six months. Transport Minister Catherine King addresses concerns about fuel security, confirming 57 ships carrying 4.1 billion litres of fuel are secured through May, while warning of longer-term impacts if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The government is working to secure fuel supplies through diplomatic efforts in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore, reducing heavy vehicle road user charges, and addressing fertiliser shortages affecting farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
