Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that Australia is shifting away from traditional import routes as the country seeks to boost energy security.

‘The scope of the scheme has expanded well beyond the original intent, and it is riddled with poor practice and fraud and rorts,’ said Mark Butler.

The Court of Appeal sided with protest groups, finding the expanded police powers went too far in restricting the right to assemble.

With urea prices skyrocketing past $1,000 and Middle Eastern supply lines choked by the Hormuz closure, Australian farmers are facing a race against the clock.

‘We really need to see what plays out throughout the remainder of the ceasefire and as to what the circumstances are in the Strait of Hormuz,’ said Marles.

The service, Stop It Now!, is designed to intervene before harm occurs by offering therapy and support to potential and former offenders.

The minister also revealed that 4.1 billion litres of fuel have been locked in by Australian companies for delivery over the next four weeks.

The regional push follows recent engagements with China and Singapore, as Canberra seeks to secure additional fuel shipments amid the ongoing Iran conflict.

Albanese has struck a deal with Viva Energy and Ampol to bypass commercial barriers and bring additional fuel into the country.

Anthony Albanese confirmed the extension but did not say how long the mission would continue for.
