A fire at Viva Energy's refinery in Geelong (a port city roughly an hour from Melbourne and home to Australia's largest oil refinery) has reduced output to around 60 per cent of petrol capacity and 80 per cent of diesel and aviation fuel, after two petrol processing units were damaged. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who cut short a regional trip to visit the site, said the incident would not trigger fuel restrictions or advance the country's four-stage fuel security plan beyond its current level. The blaze is a significant concern for Australia, which imports around 80 per cent of its fuel needs and has been urgently securing additional supply from Southeast Asian partners amid global tensions.
