Farmers under the pump amid fuel rush

We know skyrocketing fuel prices and dwindling supplies are ramping up the pressure on your business and daily lives.

We’ve been warning the government for years of this very scenario. We called for:

  • Greater onshore fuel reserves to reduce the reliance on overseas imports;
  • Support for domestic refining capacity to keep at least part of Australia’s liquid fuel supply national;
  • Policy settings that recognise fuel security as part of Australia’s critical infrastructure and economic resilience;
  • Further investment into diversified fuel options, such as biofuels.

We’ll continue to call for action, but we must address your immediate needs in the face of this current crisis:

We’re asking you to tell us what issues you’re facing on your farm, so we can continue to collate this information and feed it via the National Farmers’ Federation directly to the Federal Government. Give feedback direct to our Policy Team by clicking here.
