Geelong refinery fire extinguished
The blaze, described as 'unprecedented,' has raised concerns about the vulnerability of Australia's domestic fuel production as the nation faces an ongoing energy crisis.
Foreign interference has been ruled out as a cause, though residents have criticized the lack of communication from emergency services during the incident.
Supply chain experts warn that the fire could lead to a significant jump in gasoline prices across Victoria.
The Prime Minister has emphasized the need for more domestic refineries to ensure national energy security.
