Sorry mods, but there's something bigger than football thats about to hit, and it will be worse than the Covid crisis according to experts.
* These prices are now in NZ
* AU prices are rising daily nudging 3.00 for diesel ⛽️ and 280 super unleaded.
* The government approved the release 20% of its reserve about 762 million litres of petrol and diesel from domestic emergency stockpiles. That’s equivalent to roughly 5 million barrels of fuel. Thats only 9 days of fuel.
*Australia currently has fuel stocks roughly equivalent to about 30–36 days of petrol.
Food & groceries: Trucks transporting food and other essentials would halt, causing shortages in supermarkets and stores within days.
Prices: Expect sharp price spikes for remaining fuel and essential goods.
Emergency services: Ambulances, police, fire trucks could be limited if emergency fuel stocks aren’t available.Governments will advise
Goverments will tell us not to panic, prepare: Make sure you have enough essentials — water, non-perishable food, medications, and a bit of extra fuel if you drive long distances.
Avoid hoarding: Buy what you realistically need for 1–2 weeks; overbuying just worsens the situation for everyone.

Gonna have to Flintstone the car after filling the tank yesterday. $130 for a standard 91 tank of petrol.
If it gets worse there will be shortages of medicines, food, as farmers need diesel, trucks, trains ( freight trains) need diesel. There will probably be no more NRL games and zero crowds. It will affect every aspect of life. I seriously don't understand why Australia doesn't refine its own fuel and open up the refineries they shut down.
