DMaxer you are highly skilled at being offensive but you lack subtlety. On the china issue I think you are forgetting the questions put to china re the wuhan lab. They refused to cooperate and spat the dummy. Meanwhile Australians watched their love ones die, often, if they were lucky enough, through a window. So stick up for china and ridicule our leaders who did their best.

Most comes from Malaysia and some from Africa and PNG.


We could not survive very long on crude imports alone because our refinery capacity is so low. The vast majority of our fuel is imported and the vast majority of that came as crude through Hormuz to the Asian refineries we import from.

Wrong. You are not listening.
I quoted the sources of the crude that our fuel is made from by the refineries that produce our fuel.
13% from the Middle East, 21% from Africa, most from Malaysia.
Cheers,
Peter

I was listening. You said "our crude". And yes, for that I believe we do import the majority from Malaysia.

But to address what you actually meant, based on your next post, I would be interested to see where you got those figures from. They are very different from my understanding. So I just posed the question to AI.

"List Australia's main suppliers of refined fuel imports in order and show how much of those suppliers' crude came through Hormuz. Use figures from 2024 or 2025 to predate the current oil crisis."
 

CountryFuel Imports (USD billion)% of Their Crude via Hormuz
South Korea$9.18B~71%
Singapore$6.44B~50%
Malaysia$4.18B~40%
India$3.16B~45%
Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)$2.61B~70%

 As I know AI accuracy is often not great I just treat the figures as a guide but they look reasonable to me. Not sure why the focus on this anyway.
