The economic shocks from the war in the Middle East will remain for months, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared in a rare prime-time address to the nation, suggesting Australians should try to save fuel where possible.

In a short speech broadcast on all networks tonight, he outlined the measures the government had already taken to address the soaring cost of petrol and diesel and promised to do "everything we can to protect Australia from the worst of it".Albanese said Australians should "go about your business and your life as normal" but urged motorists not to take more fuel than they needed ahead of Easter holidays and called on commuters to consider public transport. LIVE UPDATES: Trump says US will be leaving Iran within three weekshttps://www.9news.com.au/national/anthony-albanese-address-to-the-nation-what-to-expect-how-to-watch-everything-to-know SEE ALSO: https://michaelwest.com.au/petrol-panic-paulines-war-cry-and-ruperts-iran-push-scam-of-the-week/ ====================
