One Nation has called on the government to declare a National Fuel Crisis.
Servo pumps are running empty, prices are skyrocketing and regional towns are being strangled.
If we're not in a crisis now - then when will they call it one?
The big oil companies are strangling the independent distributors who service the regions. That's forcing the prices up in the regions, and then the big oil owned service stations in the cities are increasing to match.
The government can try to gaslight us all they want and try to say there's no emergency. Every Australian can see we have a crisis on our hands.
It's time for Minister Bowen to use the laws that are in place: declare an emergency, force supplies to the regions and end the price gouging.
