Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addressed the media following a significant fire at the Viva Energy refinery in Geelong, Victoria, which lasted for 13 hours and resulted in a 40% drop in petrol production. Despite the incident, Albanese confirmed that there would be no fuel restrictions, stating that 60% of petrol production is still ongoing. Diesel and aviation fuel production remains stable at 80%. The fire, which began on Wednesday night, raised concerns among energy experts about potential fuel supply issues, with predictions of a temporary petrol price increase of up to 20 cents per litre. Albanese emphasized that the situation would not escalate to 'stage 3' of the national fuel plan, which includes stricter measures for fuel distribution. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but initial reports suggest it was not related to maintenance or increased production activities. Albanese reassured the public that the government is prepared for potential disruptions caused by global events, and further updates on fuel supplies will be provided soon.
