    Australians are being told not to worry about fuel supply, but is the truth getting in the way of a good story? Why Albanese’s address to the nation may have been more than reassurance. & whether NATO is starting to crack under pressure. Ed Mason is a Jet Zero biofuel project developer. https://jetzero.com.au/ -------------------------- This episode was powered by Tanck and Baker & York https://tanck.com.au/ https://www.bakerandyork.com/ https://www.thepubtestpodcast.com/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown Australia is confronting a fuel vulnerability that has suddenly moved from policy background noise to national political crisis. This episode breaks down Australia’s dependence on imported fuel, the case for sovereign capability, the Prime Minister’s rare address to the nation, and how different states are responding as the pressure builds. It also turns outward to NATO, Trump and the future of alliance politics. What matters here is not just the headline event, but the structural weakness underneath it. Neil Pharaoh and Erin Watson bring political and geopolitical analysis to stories that are bigger than the daily spin cycle, connecting Australian politics to the wider international system.
