The federal government is set to announce new plans to prevent fuel shortages in Australia amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as well as international conflicts that raise concerns about national supply.
For that reason, the government is trying to buy fuel to be stored 12,000km away from Australia – in the United States. Energy Minister Angus Taylor has told 9News that the time it would take to transport fuel from the US to Australia would depend on which part of the country it was coming from, and whether the oceans and regions in between were blocked by conflict.
