Federal government puts in place ‘contingencies’ amid Iran war and fuel crisis

Assistant Foreign Minister Matt Thistlethwaite claims the federal government is putting in place contingencies through the National Fuel Security Plan to ensure supply amid the ongoing war in Iran.

“We’re hopeful it is drawing to a close,” he told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

“But if it does continue, we’re putting in place contingencies through our National Fuel Security Plan to ensure that Australians have access to fuel and that we try and reduce that price pressure as much as possible.”
