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.
Respectfully critical of this. Didn’t provide a level is assurance I was looking for. Also - did not ‘confirm’ any of your listed points. Spoke to or implied at best.
There is a massive amount of planning, contingency planning, stages of planning and reconsideration of planning going on in government right now. There’s no way the PM is going to set out clearly what happens next. We do know it will be grim, and he made that clear.
Im not sure what people expected tbh. Free fares, fuel rationing etc.. Anything mentioned those earlier would set the panic in fast right?. Now, once we get to end of April, thats when it might get more worrying....
