Australia wouldn't hesitate to throw tens of billions of dollars towards oil refining and holding, and lost revenue from the excise reduction, without batting an eyelid. But when it comes to large projects like Inland Rail that would help reduce oil consumption it chickens out. I wonder how long the horizon is for building storage and refining capacity is versus finishing Inland Rail (supposedly 2038, or 2027 to Parkes)? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-06/government-commits-10-billion-for-australian-fuel-supply/106582514 #auspol #climatechange
