HOT TOPICS: Fuel rationing spreads as parents fear sport concussions

Australian petrol stations are implementing fuel purchase limits of 50 litres per vehicle as the crisis intensifies, while Tasmania introduces price caps at the bowser. The federal government faces pressure to coordinate a national response, with calls to reduce the fuel excise from 51 cents per litre to 21 cents, similar to measures taken during COVID.
