Prime Minister Anthony Albanese delivered a rare national address urging Australians to conserve fuel and shift to public transport. He tied the appeal to supply worries from the Middle East crisis and warned the months ahead may not be easy. Albanese told citizens to think of others in their communities, in the bush and in critical industries. The warning matters because fuel shortages and higher prices could disrupt households, regional services and key supply chains.
