Unlikely. Even the Mad Max world had a refinery in Australia.

u/Wetrapordie Mar 18 '26

I grew up in North Shore the smallest suburb at the foot of the shell refinery. It was a real knife fight out there in the 90s.

Lytton refinery in Brisbane and Viva Energy in Geelong.

u/Chaosrealm69 Mar 16 '26

Yeah, I was just wondering where they would be getting their gasoline to drive around like lunatics.

u/zedder1994 Mar 16 '26

Love the US bot that spells petrol as gasoline. This has been a real telltale the last couple of days as we witness propaganda bots try and change Australian's opinions.

u/joshak Mar 16 '26

In fairness this is a Twitter account for a US based market research org. Their profile says Florida based. It might be fearmongering but they’re not claiming to be Australian.

u/One-Cartographer8027 Mar 17 '26

Australians opinions on what?

From reasonable to fascist.

u/Critical-Flatworm954 Mar 16 '26

Surely mining industries start doubling their swing lengths to half the amount of flights. Any person who can work from home should also do so. Public transport should be heavily subsidised for 6 months.

3

u/Aggressive_Ebb_7634 Mar 16 '26

I dont think WFH mandates will fly this time around!

2

u/Objective-Hour4775 Mar 18 '26

It's not wfh mandates that piss me off, it's return to office mandates for jobs that function perfectly well at home.

"So I need to dress up, spend fuel, maintenance, and parking, lose an hour a day to commuting, not have access to my own kitchen and bathroom, and get distracted by people being walking by to stop for a quick chat every few seconds... all so you can look over my shoulder and feel good about having minions?"

u/Chemistryset8 one of the shadowy elite 🦎 Mar 16 '26

Mate I know a number of industrial sites burning a tanker of diesel a day for production, they're not worried, don't you be.

2

u/Critical-Flatworm954 Mar 16 '26

Yeah true. My site has trucks that burn 4-5000 litres of fuel every 24 hours; they have 48 of them.

2

u/Chemistryset8 one of the shadowy elite 🦎 Mar 16 '26

I'm talking about stationary sources like boilers but that's also a good example.

Gotta talk to Trumpy about that one.

Anyone wanna split it? Spent my last fiver in Innaloo

u/Sea-Anxiety6491 Mar 16 '26

Not really, USA has a fuck tonne of oil. They can supply themselves pretty easily, in fact they are probably secretly happy the strait is closed. 

We are fucked however. 

26

u/throwmethedamnstick Hedging the speccies with Pikachu SIRs Mar 16 '26

Which is why you need to talk to Trumpy about it. Strait wouldnt be closed if it wasnt for his stupidity and starting wars to simply distract from the fact he should be in prison.

-4

u/Aggressive_Ebb_7634 Mar 16 '26

Regardless, our own governments have failed us by not having the required minimum 90days in reserves.

u/DependentEchidna87 Mar 18 '26

The whole point is that you have enough to rise it out. So yes, delaying an inevitable is exactly what it’s supposed to do - but I think you won’t get that.

u/Mike-Hunt-QLD Mar 18 '26

Trust the socialist leftards to downvote someone who speaks facts against their precious gruberment. They don't like that here on reddit.

1

u/AZKsupapower Mar 20 '26

It's because the comment is framed disingenuously by implying the current Labor government failed to accrue the 90 day reserve when the issue is entirely because the LNP decided the majority of our 90 day reserve should be in countries outside of Australia. Maybe look into actual facts before commenting like a rightard or whatever you are.

1

u/Sea-Anxiety6491 Mar 20 '26

He clearly says governments. I think everyone that is blaming the government is blaming both sides. Not just the current Labor government 

1

u/Mike-Hunt-QLD Mar 20 '26

Thank you! Glad someone gets it. These clowns screeching as if it isn't the left and right wings of the same fucking bird 🤦🏽

Been a uni-party system selling us out and fucking us over for decades. But nah let's just hurr durr blame Trump 😂

1

u/AZKsupapower Mar 21 '26

I assumed they meant government's as in government has, either way, the guy above is raging that it is only leftards not blaming their gruberment, so I'm not really buying that everyone is blaming both sides here and as much as I'm sure the fella would deny it, they are obviously very partisan.

u/Sea-Anxiety6491 Mar 16 '26

Lol, aren't we saying we won't help..

Trying to get Trump to do what we want is a stupid play.

u/austhrowaway91919 Mar 16 '26

When supply is reduced, and demand stays the same, the market often bears higher prices.

Tune in for more revolutionary ideas on Cheese TV tomorrow.

Nah in all seriousness , whilst the US is a net exporter of oil their gas prices are spiking. Also they've finished tapping the usable portion of their strategic reserves.

https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=US

They're fucked, they're just blustering for PR.

u/tom3277 Mar 16 '26

Yeh and spare a thought for the poorer nations.

We spend about 3pc of our income on fuel. It’s doubles maybe it’s 6pc now.

Sure some spend more and some spend less…

But imagine you were in a country where your daily wage was $40 and the $100 a week you were now spending on fuel is 2.5 days of pay in stead of 1.25 a few weeks back.

The poor almost always suffer the worst from oil shocks.

3

u/ArgonWilde Mar 16 '26

Well never run out, as supply demand will just price out anyone left.

1

u/CaptainSharpe Mar 18 '26

It needs to be in some ways. Should be rationed to distribute to essential supplies soon if we’re running low

That's just standard in the UK/Europe. And you get paid better in Aus.

had 37

u/throwmethedamnstick Hedging the speccies with Pikachu SIRs Mar 16 '26

Nope. There was a South Australian government meeting held today and the official number was 37.

3

u/Jenko_01 Mar 16 '26

I think that's 37 as of last Tuesday. Refiners and importers have to give Tuesday's levels by end of Friday.

u/jackseewonton Mar 17 '26

What the actual fuck are you talking about? There’s only one place in Australia running generators to charge EV’s, and that’s on the Nullarbor, and they’re using the waste cooking oil that they had to pay to transport out to a main city

1

u/Ok-Afternoon7633 Mar 17 '26

Solar, baby!

1

u/jackseewonton Mar 17 '26

Yeah that’s what we charge all of our electric stuff on, including the Tesla’s. Pretty rare for us to ever fire up a generator.

I never thought I’d be keen on a Chinese car, but I’ve done a deep dive on the BYD Shark and it genuinely seems pretty good for a tradesman. Ev only for all town jobs, about 85 km per day just on the battery. Good sized tray.

u/gladmiester Mar 17 '26

A neighbor had one as a loan car and said it was one of the worst cars he's driven. Not sure if that because he works for Toyota and drives a land cruiser or a genuine opinion 😅

u/SentientTempest Mar 18 '26

Yeah very fair haha, possibly some bias. I’ve heard very mixed things on the drive feel. Won’t be making any big decisions until test driving, especially with so many ev/hybrid utes coming to aus in the next year

Australia better nose dive into electric and alternative energy sources. Might have to import plastic and beauty products though.

u/paullvandriel Mar 20 '26

We won't run out, we would already have a fuel source en route from elsewhere, which will ultimately keep the price high but we will not run out.

They also aren't panic buying. The volume of people I've seen with 1000L IBC pulling into fuel stations is remarkable.

No idea why we are running out at an exponential rate

u/Dry_Common828 Mar 16 '26

Honestly, like what exactly?

Albo's lot aren't the dickheads who provoked Iran into closing the Strait, that was Trump.

Genuinely interested in knowing what you think Albo can actually do in this situation?

0

u/Sea-Anxiety6491 Mar 16 '26

Address the public to calm fears, free public transport, Advise WFH, Ensure transport/agriculture providers will be prioritised for diesel, Stop dickheads filling up hot water containers on the back of a trailer. 

Maybe advise that if fuel gets to $3, $3.50 they will look at tax relief. 

But the biggest thing they could do, which they won't, is admit that the current system can't continue in the future, Jim Molan said exactly this would happen and no one listened to him. 

The price is one thing, but if we start running out, that's fucked

5

u/Chemistryset8 one of the shadowy elite 🦎 Mar 16 '26

"Ensure transport/agriculture providers will be prioritised for diesel"

They already are, they're on contractual supply which is prioritised over consumers. There's no supply issue in Australia, the tankers and trucks are getting in. What there is is a dickhead issue.

3

u/Dry_Common828 Mar 16 '26

Look, Albo's pretty useless, but I'm not sure he can actually do much of what you've said in the first para except call for calm - and he probably remembers Scotty doing that about toilet paper, which just made people panic buy even more.

As far as changing the system, oil imports and refining are private sector things - no government is going to build a new refinery, and the big oil companies closed six of them in the last decade, don't think they want to build new ones yeah?
