Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Iran, I ran so far away - flock of seagulls
Last post by Lods -Meanwhile, there's panic buying at service stations and I expect that there'll be a run on dunny rolls
I've been hiding under a rock the past few days due to a family emergency....and not sure when all this actually kicked off.
However, the first thing i saw on my phone was an article telling everyone to go and stock up on fuel because of the war with Iran will limit supply and increase costs.
Can't remember where the article was from, but clearly i wasn't the only person to see it as i've had 4 other people talk about that very issue today.
Best fill up if you can get a good price before the petrol people jack it up...which they'll do regardless.
Barnaby Joyce asked a question about supply during Question time today.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen said Australia has 36 days worth of petrol and 34 days worth of diesel stockpiled.
Joyce took a point of order and asked whether the stored reserves were on Australian soil or on ships.
Bowen said either in Australia “or on ships in our economic zone”...so on the way.
Apparently those stocks are pretty normal which surprised me...in fact better than usual so 'no worries' just yet.
