    PM's Asia fuel mission sparks $20m ad campaign debate
    Apr 12 2026
    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is conducting diplomatic missions to Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia to secure Australia's fuel supply amid concerns about diesel, jet fuel and petrol stocks. The government has launched a $20 million advertising campaign encouraging Australians to conserve fuel through measures like checking tyre pressure and reducing vehicle weight, while maintaining there is currently a month's worth of fuel available with 57 ships en route. The fuel security concerns stem from the ongoing Middle East conflict affecting global supply chains, with debate emerging over whether Asian suppliers may prioritise their own domestic markets.
