Fuel crisis deepens as supplies uncertain beyond April

Australia faces a fuel crisis with uncertain supply after mid-April due to the Iran war, prompting Energy Minister Chris Bowen to convene state counterparts for emergency discussions. Eighty petrol stations in New South Wales are without diesel, with 40 completely out of fuel, while distribution issues affect regional communities. The government has announced a fuel taskforce and the release of 500 million litres from fuel reserves, whilst the ACCC investigates major fuel suppliers over concerns about fair dealing with independent retailers.
