Hmmm! New member since just yesterday and just two posts, well, well!
The latest from Roger Cook, the Premier of Western Australia....
"Current Situation:
Global conflict in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through global economies and fuel supply chains.
I know there is a lot of anxiety about fuel security, and I want to assure Western Australians that my Government is doing everything it can to address these concerns.
Reliable supplies of fuel are critical to the WA community and industries like mining, agriculture, freight, and construction.
Currently, imports of petrol and diesel supplies remain secure, ships are arriving on schedule, and our fuel terminals are well-stocked.
WA currently sits at "Level One" of its Hazard Management Plan for energy disruption, which calls for close collaboration between industry and Government.
We are regularly assessing the situation on the ground, and while there have been localized issues of distribution, my team is working closely with fuel importers, wholesalers, and industry to ensure access to supply across WA.
We will continue to work collaboratively with the Federal Government to ensure WA’s interests are heard on the national stage.
Western Australia has stared down global challenges before, and I will do what needs to be done to keep WA strong."
