Plenty.  Give credit where it's due. Prices are coming down. Things could have been a lot worse. Nev

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese secured 100 million litres of diesel during his recent diplomatic mission to Asia.  This amount, equivalent to approximately 570,000 barrels, was purchased from Brunei and South Korea using new federal fuel security powers underwritten by the government. 

 

While the Prime Minister also negotiated broader "no surprises" trade agreements with Malaysia and Singapore to ensure continued supply lines, the specific volume of oil confirmed as secured for immediate import was the 100 million litres of diesel.  Opposition critics have noted that this quantity represents roughly one day's supply for Australia, given the nation's daily consumption of around 90 million litres.

We coulld stop selling canola overseas and turn it into bio-diesel.

They'd never do that.'

For one, that could show be some sort of initiative, courage, investment and foresight from our Gov.

But 2, it'd be helping our people .

Couldn't have any of that stuff.

PS, use to ran my old jackeroo on all sorts of cooking oils, even cleaned sump oils- prob not great that one l know.

But man, some of the stuff l put in that poor thing, never complained once.

Don't think we'd wanna try it with a modern diesel though , well yours maybe but not mine 😅  

They'd like Canola ok though l'd imagine.

l'm not bothered for myself really , mainly just for our farmers and trucking .

But eh, wouldn't take much notice of any price up and downs just yet, prob just his bs about the opening up. The Chump shyt show shall continue on for awhile yet though is my guess seems as 90% of it is bullshit and the opening was too atm.
