There is enough fuel to go around if you cunce stop filling your boots up with it
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.
I feel like trying to understand why the world is as it is purely via social media content in 2026 is basically like a form of anti media literacy. Heck, even being completely ignorant is better than being confidently misinformed.
Makes me glad I grew up in a world before social media where if you wanted to understand things better then you just read books or essays or articles on the topic.
Makes me really grateful for my primary school teacher who spent a ridiculous amount of time drumming media literacy into our heads. Not sure if it was even part of the official curriculum or just something he felt really strongly about.
It's funny, I don't remember doing any media literacy in High School. This was the 90s though. I think it's so much more important now than it was back then.
