Waste collectors warn bin services may stop if diesel not found urgently


Waste collectors are warning that bin services may be reduced, leading to rubbish pile-ups, as the sector struggles to secure diesel supplies.

The sector also warns rubbish collectors are operating at a loss because of diesel prices, putting some on the brink of collapse unless councils are willing to pass on costs to home owners.

Bowen loves the fuel shortage.
It's the perfect excuse and reason for Australia to replace Argentina as the Leftism guinea pig experiment - of which the Argies escaped from.

Forcing Australians to buy into Electric vehicles and Renewables rather than reestablish the old Refineries and let Australians 'get Ahead' of the likes of Asia and Europe in costs of consumption.
Watch Gas prices rise soon too, so Aussies can't get ahead on that too as an alternative to Electric Leftism.
We know this, because once Australians become dependent on EVs, etc - they'll slug a TAX on them too, to show that they too are no longer an advantage.

Especially when the ALP have diabolically just snuck a deal with the EU in regards to a Free Trade & Security Agreement that has Australia BINDED to the Paris Accord of Climate restrictions, pros and cons. Which, by UN Laws, state that such an Accord can NOT be mandatory. Sinister stuff.

We are in essence being BLACKMAILED by the ALP and Left.
The CIA have been proven to install and fund Dictators in South America and around the world to KEEP THEIR NATIONS WEAK (for their USA national security), while American mainstream Media falsely condemned them with fabricated propaganda and edited footage to make it appear that America was against them.

Well, now the EU Left has our ALP as their DICTATORSHIP here, to keep us weak and subservient for their profit and benefit. Starmer giving his blessing.
When the real Great Britain would never have done so, to us, their most loyal fans of their Politics because we 'were' a reflection of their success for their Commonwealth gift to the world.

Should we rise up to overthrow?
Riots, burnings, violence?
No. That's something the Left would do. Just like THEIR BLM riots of mass destruction and killings and their illegal INVADERS against ICE authorities as they waved foreign flags like Hamas and Mexican Crime cartels.

What can we do then?
What can we do?

Maybe we must just prevail and hold fast.
In hope that the Left and ALP here will dig their own graves and hang themselves in shame?

Who knows?

What is going on with the supply chain?

Will the USA allow us to buy some USA refined fuel?
Is any on the way?
Are we on our own?

Has Trump hung us out to dry?

I heard -
"At least 5 shipments. 3 from ExxonMobil, and 1 each from BP and Vitol. 200,000 tons in total"

enough to last us a few days.   Embarrassed

We'll survive, Bobby.

Don't worry about things you have no control over.

We're doomed - Australia stops without fuel.






Mar 25, 2026
Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen outlines exactly how many service stations in Australia are currently out of fuel.

“In NSW, there are 187 with no diesel and 32 without any stock at all,” Mr Bowen said during Question Time on Wednesday.

“Queensland figures remain 55 with no diesel and 35 with no regular unleaded.

“In Victoria 134, with a lack of one or more grades.

“South Australia 49 out of 700.

“Western Australia remains six with a total stock out and four with no diesel.

“Tasmanian, it remains my advice one with no diesel and six with no unleaded.

“Northern Territory, the advice remains the same that there are no shortages as a result of fuel shortage.

“In the ACT, there is currently one service station with no diesel.”

You're an ostrich with your head in the sand.

The Uniparty that has run this country is incompetent -
they caused this disaster.

We're in big trouble.
Labor cared more about poofter marriage and an Abbo voice
than our fuel reserves.

His advisers, those he hadn't already fired, warned him about this, yet he took no action to secure the Strait before starting his attacks on Iran.

We are paying the price for his incompetence.

It doesn't matter that he keeps saying "Nobody knew".

He just didn't listen.  He was warned.

So yes, he has hung us out to dry, with the rest of the world.

He's also obliterated a lot of the soft power the US had via USAID, so I don't know how, if ever, the US will be able to recover on the global stage.  Their reputation is certainly down the drain.  This idea that Trump would bring the world to respect the US again has been just another promise to add to his list of failures.

Take a breath, and stop watching Sky News and Fox News.  You'll be better for it.

Hopefully Trump didn't start a war in the richest oil part of the world
without a plan to protect his allies with fuel supplies, should it all go belly up?
