Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered his first National Address since being elected in 2022, calling on Australians to remain calm amid the ongoing fuel crisis. The Prime Minister acknowledged the impacts the war in the Middle East is having on rising petrol and diesel prices, and says farmers, truck drivers, small businesses and families are especially vulnerable to rising costs. He's urged Australians not to take more fuel than is needed, and to use public transport wherever possible to keep fuel available where it's needed most. SBS World News host Janice Petersen speaks afterwards to Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson for more on what it means.
