Former Air Vice-Marshal John Blackburn joins Karl Stefanovic to discuss Australia’s growing fuel security crisis and what it means for national defence. He explains why Australia’s dependence on imported fuel is a major strategic risk, how modern conflicts could disrupt supply chains overnight, and why the country may be far less prepared than many assume.
