Fuel crisis forces budget rethink as One Nation surges
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
Australia's fuel supplies withstood the Easter long weekend test, with diesel shortages dropping from 312 to 274 service stations nationwide amid the global oil crisis triggered by war in the Middle East. The fuel crisis is forcing the federal government to reconsider cost-of-living measures in next month's budget, with potential cuts to NDIS growth being considered. One Nation has surged to 25% of the national primary vote according to Newspoll's quarterly analysis, overtaking Labor in Queensland as voter dissatisfaction grows over fuel and cost-of-living pressures.
