Curiosities Live — Could Australia run out of fuel and what needs to change?

Fuel supply disruptions are being felt across Australia, with reports of stockpiling, uncertainty around availability and increasing concern about how long supplies will last. While Australia has long relied on global supply chains, recent events have highlighted just how vulnerable those systems can be in times of crisis.

Join supply chain expert Dr Sanjoy Paul for a live Curiosities conversation unpacking the current situation. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving today’s disruptions, how global shocks impact local fuel access, and where Australia stands when it comes to fuel security and preparedness.

This session will go beyond the headlines to examine the structural challenges facing Australia’s fuel supply — from reliance on imports to storage capacity, logistics and policy settings. Importantly, it will also look ahead to what needs to change to build a more resilient and secure future.

The session includes a live audience Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions in real time — whether you’re curious about shortages, price impacts, supply chain vulnerabilities or long-term solutions.

Bring your questions and join the conversation as events unfold.
