O loo lava le sapalai fa’aleoleo o le suāu’u ma le penisini i Ausetalia nei, ma o le mafua’aga lea e lē tatau ai ona popole ma so’ona lolofi tagata i pamu penisini.


O loo lava le sapalai fa’aleoleo o le suāu’u ma le penisini i Ausetalia nei, ma o le mafua’aga lea e lē tatau ai ona popole ma so’ona lolofi tagata i pamu penisini.

O se fautuaga lea mai le minisita o le malosi’aga Chris Bowen, na ia ta’ua ai e 36 aso o le penisini fa’aleoleo o iai nei, ma le 34 aso o le suāu’u tiso fa’aleoleo.

Na molimauina le si’itaga maualuga i le tau o le suāu’u e mafua mai i le osofa’iga a Amerika ma Isara’elu o Iran.

Na saunoa Chris Bowen o loo mata’itū le tulaga i le fela’ua’iga o le suāu’u, ae maise i le tapunia e Iran o le Straits of Hormuz:

“There will be challenges in this difficult environment in the Middle East – in the Straits of Hormuz. It is a very important supply chain for the world. Not just for Australia, for the world; including to Singapore and southeast Asia where we get most of our petrol. So, there are real challenges. But there is no need for panic-buying, that will just make the situation worse.”

Na ta’ua e Chris Bowen, e lē o iai se tulaga lamatia i le sapalai o le suāu’u ma le penisini i Ausetalia:

"I do understand people’s concerns, but it’s important that people know we do have a good stock of petrol in reserve in Australia. There is no immediate threat to petrol supplies in Australia.”

Ua feso’ota’i le teutupe, Jim Chalmers i le Komisi le Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), i le tatau ona va’ava’aia le tau o le suāu’u ma le penisini ma ni faiga solitulafono e ono alia’e mai ai i fa’atauvaga i le tau.

Na saunoa le Fa’atonu o le Reserve Bank, Michele Bullock, e lē o mailoa le tulaga o le a a’afia ai le atina’e o le tamao’aiga atoa ai le tau o le soifuaga mai le tulaga fa’aletonu i le sapalai o le suāu’u ma le penisini:

“We’re going to take some time to make sense of what it could mean for inflation here. A supply shock of this nature, for example, could add to inflation pressures and the potential implications for inflation expectations also are something that we’re very alert to. At the same time, a prolonged impact on energy markets could have adverse effects on global economic activity and result in downward pressure on inflation, and it’s not obvious how this might play out. So as much as I know the public would like more certainty about the direction of interest rates, it would be wrong for us to pretend we have greater certainty than we do.”
