Australians use more diesel per person than any other major economy in the world. This statistic is hardly surprising due to the vast distances we cover as well as our relatively small population. The challenge for Australia is that we import most of our diesel along with petrol and jet fuel.
Australia has among the lowest storage (measured in days) of these fuels in the Western World, which makes us one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to a major economic shock such as the Iran war.
Successive governments and our government today continues to let our and country down with poor foresight and planning.
