Parliament House Canberra

06/05/2026

Today the Prime Minister announced that next weekā€™s Federal Budget will include an Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package to ensure energy sovereignty and protect our nationā€™s energy interests.

The package will provide more than $10 billion to secure Australiaā€™s near-term fuel and fertiliser security, establish a permanent Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres, and lift the Minimum Stockholding Obligation by around 10 days for every type of fuel.

This will support an overall expansion of Australiaā€™s onshore fuel reserves to ensure at least 50 days of fuel supply and storage of diesel and aviation fuel.

The Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package will deliver:

ā€¢ $7.5 billion for the establishment of a Fuel and Fertiliser Security Facility to increase supply and storage of fuel and fertiliser by providing financial support including loans, equity, guarantees, insurance and price support.

ā€¢ $3.2 billion to establish a Government-owned Australian Fuel Security Reserve of around a billion litres to increase long term diesel and aviation fuel supply and storage in combination with an increase to the Minimum Stockholding Obligation (MSO), to increase Australiaā€™s critical fuel reserves to 50 days. Our Australia Fuel Security Reserve will focus on regional stockouts and supply constraints for essential users in the event of another supply crisis.

ā€¢ $10 million to support feasibility studies into new or expanded fuel refining capabilities, to be co-funded with state and territory jurisdictions.

Australia and Japan have agreed to strengthen their partnership to support economic security by making us more resilient to economic shocks and uncertainty and supporting regional economic resilience.

Leaders also committed to strengthening energy security, helping ensure stable supplies of fuel and gas for households and businesses in both countries, and supporting open trade flows of essential energy goods.

Both countries will also deepen cooperation in critical minerals, defence and cyber security. This includes driving co-investment into Australiaā€™s critical minerals sector, strengthening defence capability, and working together to respond to evolving cyber threats.

A new Australiaā€“Japan Leadership Dialogue will bring together leaders from government, business and the community to drive practical cooperation on shared priorities.

These initiatives elevate our Special Strategic Partnership with Japan and affirm our shared commitment to peaceful, stable and prosperous region.
