PM cuts short Asia diplomacy tour after Geelong oil refinery fire

Published
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the massive fire that broke out at one of Australia's only two remaining oil refineries won't trigger fuel restrictions. Mr Albanese cut short his international fuel security trip to inspect the damage at the Victorian oil refinery. He's also facing criticism that a diesel deal he announced is only equivalent to one extra day of domestic supply.
