SINGAPORE, April 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will seek to boost ties with a key supplier of refined fuel in Singapore on Friday as a shaky ceasefire between the United States and Iran showed no sign of curbing petrol prices. Australia relies on imports for an estimated 90 percent of its refined petroleum products. Three percent of service stations across the country were reported this week to have run out of diesel. The city state provides Australia with more than a quarter of its refined fuel. Energy Minister Chris Bowen said Thursday that 216 service stations across Australia were without diesel -- roughly 2.7 percent of the total.
