      Well, the dip in supply hasn’t started yet, we’re still receiving deliveries that we’re en route before Trump shat himself.

      3 weeks ago here in regional WA every farmer tried to order 5,000 litres of diesel. This surge in demand caused the current shortage.

      So right now, its a surge in demand, but in a month it will indeed be a dip in supply.

      Some journalists get trained, and let us cherish and protect them.

      Democracy (worst form of gov other than all the alternatives, most capable of change) needs a free flow of information to keep voters informed i.e a free and effective press. Sadly lacking today.

      Maybe there’s a surge in demand because people are hoarding the petrol in Jerrycans, similar to how people were hoarding toilet paper during COVID. Something I still don’t quite understand - the whole world was going into lockdown and some people’s primary concern was gathering enough toilet paper to last a lifetime?
