PM Warns Australians to Expect Difficult Months Ahead, Calls for Public to Conserve Fuel

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is warning of difficult months ahead as the Middle East oil crisis threatens to escalate, urging Australians to think of farmers, miners, and tradies when filling up their car.

In a rare prime-time address to the nation, Albanese asked the public to consider getting public transport to work and not to take more fuel than they need as part of the government’s efforts to conserve petrol and diesel.
