flag Australia’s fuel reserves are deemed insufficient for emergencies despite government claims of adequacy, sparking national security concerns.

flag Australia faces growing concerns over fuel supply stability, with opposition leaders and farmers warning of potential shortages despite government claims of adequate reserves. flag Under the minimum stockholding obligation, fuel stocks in 2024–25 covered 39 days of gasoline, 31 days of kerosene, and 33 days of diesel, including offshore tankers and pipelines. flag However, the International Energy Agency excludes these assets from emergency readiness assessments due to limited accessibility. flag Opposition energy spokesman Dan Tehan called the government’s management “deeply concerning,” citing risks to national security and transport. flag The government maintains that current reserves are sufficient for disruptions, but the discrepancy between reported levels and actual emergency readiness has sparked debate over energy policy and supply resilience.
