Habang nagsisimula nang ilabas mula Brisbane ang unang shipment ng high-sulphur fuel, muling nagbukas ang mas matinding debate tungkol sa pangmatagalang energy security ng Australia at ang pagdepende nito sa pabago-bagong global supply chain.

Pinayagan ng Federal Government ang pansamantalang 60-day easing ng sulphur standards sa petrol upang makapaglabas ng mas mataas na sulphur fuel para sa mga regional community na nakararanas ng kritikal na kakulangan sa suplay.
Hanggang 762 milyong litro ng petrol at diesel ang ilalabas mula sa domestic reserves ayon sa pamahalaan.
Ayon kay energy analyst Kevin Morrison, mahigit isang dekada nang hindi natutupad ng Australia ang 90-day oil stockpile rule ng International Energy Agency.
