"We are treating this like we’ve got all the time in the world. We’re not running out of fuel—we’re running out of preparation."

As petrol stations across the country see yellow "Sold Out" signs and queues snake around the block, the narrative from Canberra isn't matching the reality at the pump.

Listen to John Stanley live on air from 8pm Monday to Thursday on 2GB Sydney and 4BC Brisbane
