China move could doom Aussie flights as jet fuel shipments drop to zero

Australia’s biggest jet fuel supplier appears to have cut us off,
with no new shipments scheduled for next month in a move that could trigger flight chaos.

Whose idea was it to rely on China for ANYTHING? Keating? Howard? Rudd?

Would you like a real answer

No, I think Frank would prefer to answer his own questions from now on, Sad.

DEEP STATE !!!

Strange. That's not what you were saying on Liberation Day.

You said the first thing we needed was a trade war with Chi-na.

What made you change your tune, Bobby? The old boy thinks you've been infected.

Online virus, was it?

How does it feeeeeel?

I feel like I'm on my own - like a rolling stone.

Oh? Whatabout DL?

He's got you by the pearls, Bobby.

Nixon and Whitlam by recpgnising them as legit.

Then Clinton, by letting them into the WTO.

Letting them in? The world's second biggest economy?

You think the rest of the world might have had something to say about that?

Or do you think it was the DEEP STATE?

Sorry, that's a question. You might want Frank to put it to you.

Ah remnants of COVID lockdown, we know what do do

This was a meme back then, I just changed last digit from a “3” to “6” to keep up with current trend.

Yes - it's an emergency like Covid.

We need strong leadership -
running out of fuel is a life and death situation
that we can avoid with a few harsh rules.

I don't know about not being able to afford to travel more than 5 miles but judging by the number of planes I can hear going in and out of Perth Airport people still don't seem to be having too much of a problem when it comes to flying despite the war and higher air fares due to higher aviation fuel prices.

Perhaps they want to get their travel done before the planes run out of fuel in a few weeks time? Can't see that happening, of course. That will be #1 priority as far as the government is concerned even if Joe Average can't put petrol in his car.

It looks we will run out within one month.
There are already 100s of petrol stations with no fuel left.

This will cost lives – possible examples:
people unable to get medicine and food,
ambulances that can't rescue injured or dying people,
police that can't answer distress calls,
people who run out of fuel on motorways and get out of their cars
only to be run down and killed,
trucks that can't deliver essential food and other items.

I have some good news:

https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/us-ships-coming-to-ou...

US ships ‘coming to our rescue’ in fuel crisis
Australia relies on Asia for fuels. But three large shipments of petrol and diesel are on their way to our shores from the US, in a move one expert is calling “highly unusual”.

March 25, 2026

https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/map-shows-brutal-trut...

Map shows brutal truth about Australia’s fuel crisis as the country sits on 42 years’ worth of oil reserves
Petrol prices are biting as war throws the nation into a crisis — but experts say there’s enough oil in the ground to supply Aussies for decades.
