Around 20% of the country's diesel comes from the US atm.

Diesel reserves estimated at roughly 17–34 days of cover depending on the specific calculation method and inclusion of in-transit shipments.

On September 22, 2026, Trump publicly backed a ban on U.S. diesel exports to address record-high fuel prices, with the administration reportedly preparing a plan for a 90-day restriction to be announced imminently.

Shortages and a cost hike in diesel just before harvest time ... food shortages ?

No fuel excise cut coming from Albanese's Labor.

Higher prices in fuel, food, and supply chains equated to higher interest rates.


What a mess ... caused by current, past governments of Coalition and Labor.



Should a 90 day freeze in data centres be used to force Trump's hand ... or is Australia too scared to defend itself?

We should be self sufficient in diesel and petrol.

We have had 30 years or more of Govt mismanagement of the fuel industry -
all from the Uniparty of Labor and Liberal.

I have to agree, Bobby. We should be self-reliant on our own fossil fuels. Why we bother with the Middle East is something I will never understand.
