Australia Appoints Fuel Czar to Tackle Iran War Disruptions

Australia appointed former energy regulator Anthea Harris as a new fuel czar to coordinate the response to price spikes and supply chain disruptions as a result of the war in the Middle East.

“Australia is well-prepared, our fuel supply is currently secure, however I want us to be overprepared,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters Thursday in Hobart. “We’re doing all that we can to secure our fuel supply and get it to the places it’s needed.”
