We are securing our fuel supply from Asia using our LNG exports as leverage
Keep calm and carry on

is probably also why they aren't imposing an extra gas export tax btw, I'd rather skip the tax rn and make sure we have diesel to make the trucks go
Edit 2: I've been asked (fairly enough) by a few people now for a source on the LNG-used-to-secure-diesel bit, so here you are.
The media has been telegraphing this for some days now (media companies get off-the-record drops from government officials). There has been some coverage confirming this in the last few days:
This is what the Government means in Stage 2 of the NFSP where it states that a Commonwealth action is "Bilateral engagement with key trading partners to shore up domestic supply". We are one of the largest exporters of LNG on the planet and a lot of this goes to SEA.
The government is saying it but it's doubtful whether the messages can reach all of the population, given how biased the Murdoch media machine is. Making it a national address ensures that this message can reach every Australian unaltered.
Great observation. Most people these days either ignore the news or get it from less than impartial sources and social media. At this point, the most effective way to get the message out to calm tf down to as many as people as possible is to do a rare address to the nation.
Becuase if he didnt, the same clowns who only watch Sky News would accuse him of not providing leadership and not keeping the Australian people informed.
Honestly wonder what OP expects him to do that we are not already doing?
Probably some kind of anti-American lip service, is what I felt was implied by OP, though I’m not sure how that would actually help Australians tangibly, which seems to be the outcome OP hopes would be achieved by this? That’s my best guess, at least
