The Coalition has launched www.nofuelhere.com.au, a community reporting platform designed to map fuel shortages across regional Australia and give Australians a direct line to their local Members of Parliament.
Nationals Leader Senator Matt Canavan said the platform was a direct response to the government’s failure to acknowledge the depth of the crisis in regional areas.
“The Albanese Government keeps telling regional Australians there’s no problem, that fuel is flowing and reserves are holding,” Senator Canavan said.
“But that’s not what we’re hearing in our communities. People are lining up for $50 worth of petrol. Farmers can’t secure diesel deliveries. Some towns are running on fumes.
“We launched www.nofuelhere.com.au because we believe regional Australians deserve to be heard. Every report submitted tells us where the crisis is real, where it’s urgent, and where the government needs to act.”
More than 107 service stations in NSW alone have reported diesel shortages, with similar patterns across Australia.
