Fuel security or electrification? We've crunched the numbers
Why it matters
Australia's $11.9 billion National Fuel Security Plan, with $3.2 billion dedicated to physical stockpiling of diesel and jet fuel, directly addresses a critical vulnerability exposed by the Iran conflict and the current global oil-market disruption. Expanding fuel reserves from 36 to 50 days strengthens Resource Sovereignty (Pillar 1), underpins defence operational continuity (Pillar 6), and reflects a deliberate fiscal commitment to strategic resilience in an era of supply-chain instability.
