Fuel Shortage Fears Prompt Rationing Prep
The Gragziers' Association reports inquiries on petrol shortages. Minister Casey says a rationing scheme is complete but not yet needed. Precautionary license applications may be invited by the Liquid Fuel Control Board and Commonwealth Board. Some hoarding occurred but immediate shortages likely affect petrol and drums only. If rationing occurs it will avoid remote areas and farm implements except in extreme cases. The present law restricts storage of inflammable liquids to licensed premises, with limited unregistered storage allowed under strict conditions.
