Just saw that Western Australia is actually thinking about stockpiling diesel now. Apparently the state government wants to build its own strategic reserve because of supply issues they've been facing - especially in agriculture and mining sectors. Makes sense given what happened with the Iran situation causing shortages.

Their Energy Minister was talking about how this would be specifically for Western Australia residents, and the government would decide which regions get priority access depending on what's needed. The reserve is supposed to hold millions of liters using existing infrastructure.

Interesting move honestly. Not something you hear every day about a state just deciding to do its own fuel reserves. Western Australia basically saying they need to handle their own energy security at this point. More details supposed to come out in the next few weeks apparently.
