Australia's energy minister, Chris Bowen, has warned that an escalating Middle East conflict could lead to further price increases for petrol. Bowen stated that the country currently has only 41 days' worth of petrol stored in strategic reserves. The minister emphasized the importance of giving consumers choice and removing illegal content from online platforms, particularly to protect children from potential harms.
Bowen believes this approach is a prudent measure to address emerging online dangers and keep parents confident in the government's efforts to ensure their children's safety.
