Greens call for 'COVID-style' parliament amid fuel concerns
""Maybe we've got to do the same thing. We've got to demonstrate and lead by example and scale back parliaments like we did during COVID.""
""Feels like it's a similar crisis now, obviously different in many ways, but it's getting to a point where it's extremely concerning.""
""Last week, the International Energy Agency recommended Australians work from home where possible, and drive at slower speeds to limit oil demand during the Middle East conflict.""
Fuel supply in the country is strained due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, with over 500 petrol stations running dry. Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson suggests that parliament should revert to COVID-style operations to address the crisis. He emphasizes the need for politicians to lead by example and consider working from home. The International Energy Agency has recommended Australians limit oil demand by working from home and driving slower, but the government has not issued a formal directive on this matter.
