Australia is not dependent on fuel delivered via North Asia, according to Caltex Australia’s Louise Warner. Australia’s access to fuel has come under the microscope after revelations the government only has 28 days of fuel imports, well below the 90-day minimum advocated by the international community.
The Coalition is also considering whether to accept a request from the Trump administration to help patrol vessels in the oil-rich Persian Gulf amid concerns about Iran’s growing belligerence in the area. Ms Warner told Sky News that Australia has “many different supply sources” that Caltex could “easily access” in the event of international turmoil involving Iran or China. She said the company is “actively monitoring” contentious international issues and liaising with the government.

Sydney stabbing heroes remind us masculinity ‘can be a much-desired quality’ | Sky News AustraliaAt a time when it seems maleness is “under attack”, Sky News host Rita Panahi says the brave actions of the men who took down the alleged perpetrator of the Sydney stabbings on Tuesday served as a “sobering reminder that masculinity can be a much-desired quality”.\n\nShe said it took “enormous courage” for “ordinary people carrying nothing more than chairs and milk crates” to run towards danger and subdue the alleged attacker.\n\nMs Panahi noted “more often than not” it’s men who risk their personal safety to save strangers from harm.\n\n“Boys and men are under attack for inherent traits that are neither harmful nor toxic but almost always presented in those terms,” she said.\n\n“It's time to stop demonising masculinity, manhood, chivalry and boyish bravado.”\n No good deed will ever go unpunished by Australian authorities, RitaPanahi Because in a time of crisis, no one looks to a feminist for help Eff off Panahi. Hypocrite of the highest order trying to attack feminists using ironically the event of a murdered woman to do so. Evil people you are.
