So a very tiny picture of this, and it's very different depending on where you live.
So say I sent Brent a text yesterday when I was reading the news and I said, can you make sure the car, keep the car full, right?
So it's not a text I would have sent three weeks ago.
I was like, keep the car full.
Now, if I'm sending that text,
Think about that stepped and repeated all over the country, all over the world by suburban families like mine or regional families like mine.
And then of course, people like farmers depend on diesel enormously.
We also depend on diesel for moving
goods around the country, trucks, all of that kind of thing, heavy machinery in mining, heavy machinery in building.
If you think about that tiny microchism of keep the car full with all those different things.
So there isn't a supply crisis right now,
But the supply chain will be disrupted down the line.
What we have right now is a demand crisis, which is, as I said, the microcosm of me and my suburban regional family saying keep the cars full is step repeated and then on a different scale when it comes to industry.
So there are some petrol stations.
There's a lot of pressure at the minute for the various premiers to be saying, this is how many petrol stations in my state don't have petrol and all those things.
And then they might have it again tomorrow, but it might be gone again because basically the demand and supply has been destabilized by this crisis.
So whether or not there's actually less petrol and diesel in the country right now is not really the problem.
The problem is that the supply chain is going to be disrupted
And so everybody's buying.
Although, because I've heard that too.
