  • The Celine Dion Poster Rumour & Explained: Petrol, Panic Buying & Price Pressure
    Mar 24 2026

    As global tensions and conflict in the Middle East threaten the flow of oil into Australia, the warning signs are flashing. While we aren't out of fuel yet, regional towns are already seeing shortages, prices at the bowser are climbing, and supply is at risk of running low.

    So, how much do we really have left, and why is our 'just-in-time' delivery system so vulnerable to international shocks?

    Today, we're joined by the NRMA's Peter Khoury to explain where our fuel actually comes from and how many days of reserves we have left.

    Plus, consumer behaviour expert Dr Paul Harrison joins us to discuss the psychology of panic buying and how this shortage will eventually hit your grocery bill and your commute.
