Australia’s fuel security and control over our natural resources are at the heart of this week’s Citizens Report. Elisa Barwick and Richard Bardon examine how Australia went from producing and refining much of its own fuel to relying heavily on imports, and what this means for fuel supplies, diesel prices and the cost of living. They explore Australia’s untapped energy resources, the potential to produce fuel from gas and brown coal, and the consequences of privatising electricity and gas.
The discussion also revisits Gough Whitlam’s efforts to strengthen Australian control over strategic resources, the economic thinking behind the rise of the political “uni-party”, and whether thorium reactors could offer an alternative energy future.
The episode also examines:
- Albo’s having a laugh about corruption - questions surrounding the National Anti-Corruption Commission
- Post Office campaign victory - The parliamentary inquiry into post office closures has been extended following public pressure.
- Time running out for Dan Duggan - Four years after his arrest, supporters are calling for action over his detention and extradition case.
