What’s really happening with fuel in NSW

 

You may have seen reports of fuel shortages across NSW. Here’s the reality. Right now, we are not seeing a shortage of fuel coming into Australia. The issue right now is distribution—fuel is moving through the system unevenly, which is why some stations are temporarily short while others are being restocked. With global tensions putting pressure on markets, we’re acting early to protect NSW households and businesses. Right now, the NSW Labor Government is: Working with the Commonwealth on measures including halving the fuel excise—cutting costs by 26.3 cents per litre Monitoring supply in real time through a dedicated Fuel Emergency Operations Centre Cracking down on price gouging with a statewide compliance blitz Supporting a National Fuel Security Plan to improve transparency We’re focused on keeping fuel moving where it’s needed most—and keeping prices as fair as possible.
