Collusion claims fuel oil strike and state powers
Former arbitraly commissioner Mel Winter alleges collusion between government and oil firms during the ongoing strike. Deputy Prime Minister urges that a partial return to work does not fix the dispute, while South Australia invokes emergency powers to restrict petrol sales. A state proclamation bans petrol sales in metropolitan areas with a broader restriction slated statewide. A prime ministerial trip to Papua New Guinea remains uncertain pending the oil dispute resolution.
