Fuel crisis threatens farmers and truckies

Australian farmers and trucking operators are facing severe financial pressure from a fuel crisis that has seen diesel prices double at the terminal gate. Independent fuel supply chains are particularly affected, with some operators forced to stop operating, while farmers ration fuel use and prioritise essential activities like harvesting. Industry leaders are calling for urgent government support to ensure fuel supply and cost recovery, with concerns about potential impacts on food production and supermarket supply chains if the situation continues.
