Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a joint plan with West Australia's government to fund a new study into large-scale oil refinery. The refinery is aimed at protecting the country's economy from further global energy shocks. If the refinery goes ahead, it would be the first new large-scale petrol refinery built in Australia since the 1960s. This comes as the cut in fuel excise is due to expire by the end of the week - انتونی آلبانیزی صدراعظم آسترالیا از اختصاص چهار میلیون دالر برای انجام یک مطالعه مقدماتی درباره ساخت یک تصفیه خانه بزرگ نفت در آسترالیای غربی خبر داده است. هدف این طرح، تقویت انرژی و کاهش آسیبپذیری آسترالیا در برابر شوکهای جهانی تأمین مواد سوخت عنوان شده است.

Nhà máy lọc dầu mới có mục đích bảo vệ nền kinh tế đất nước khỏi những cú sốc năng lượng toàn cầu trong tương lai. Nếu dự án được tiến hành, đây sẽ là nhà máy lọc dầu quy mô lớn mới đầu tiên được xây dựng ở Úc kể từ những năm 1960. Tuyên bố diễn ra giữa lúc chính sách giảm thuế tiêu thụ đặc biệt đối với nhiên liệu sắp hết hạn vào cuối tuần này.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced $4 million in funding for a pre-feasibility study into a proposed large-scale oil refinery in Karratha, Western Australia. The study will be carried out by Perdaman, which is already building a $6.4 billion fertiliser manufacturing facility in the Pilbara. The proposed Made in WA Fuel Refinery aims to strengthen Australia's fuel security and, if approved, would become the country's third oil refinery and the first new large-scale petrol refinery built since the 1960s. Perdaman Chairman and Indian-origin billionaire Vikas Rambal said the project would be a "game-changer" for Australia's fuel security and manufacturing sector.

Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow in years, hitting the Russian capital's oil refinery for the second time this week. “We don't want this war, we never did, and everyone knows it, and our partners know it,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a voice message sent to reporters on a WhatsApp group. “But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn.” Ciara and Shane were joined by Dr. Patrick Bury, Defence Expert at the University of Bath and Former NATO Analysis.

We also ask how Ukrainian drones continue to penetrate Moscow's formidable air defences, after another strike reportedly hit a Russian oil refinery and disrupted operations at airports across the capital.

2026-04-28 | UPDATES #186 | Tuapse burns – a third wave of strikes has reignited earlier fires and started new ones. Now the flames are burning out of control and may consume the whole plant. This is a major strategic and psychological blow for Putin and his war economy. In this episode – Budanov's doctrine and the end of the 'no cards' lie. April 27–28, 2026 — as Tuapse oil refinery and port burns for the third time in twelve days. It is just after 2 AM on the night of 27th to 28th April 2026, on the Black Sea coast. Above the Russian port city of Tuapse — population thirty-five thousand, one of the most strategically important oil export hubs Russia possesses — the air is filled with the sound of more than a dozen consecutive explosions.By dawn, 164 Russian firefighters with 46 fire appliances are battling what Krasnodar Krai's governor describes as "a major fire at the oil refinery." Residents of the streets nearest the burning Rosneft facility are being evacuated. School Number 6 in Tuapse has been opened as a temporary accommodation centre. Drone groups, eyewitnesses report, came in low across the sea before striking both the maritime terminal and the refinery itself.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv next month, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

Australia's fragile fuel supply is under further threat after the country's largest operating oil refinery burst into flames overnight.
Authorities say equipment failure caused a major fire at an Australian oil refinery on Wednesday night that is expected to affect the national fuel supply.
The current fuel supply crisis in Australia is threatening to worsen. The reason is a fire at an oil refinery in Geelong, Victoria, which is affecting production. The incident is extremely bad news for Prime Minister Albanese, who is currently visiting Australia's neighbours in Southeast Asia and is looking for more supplies of gasoline, diesel and kerosene. - Die aktuelle Krise um die Treibstoffversorgung in Australien droht sich zu verschärfen. Grund ist ein Feuer in einer Ölraffinerie in Geelong, in Victoria, das die Produktion beeinträchtigt. Der Vorfall ist eine denkbar schlechte Nachricht für Regierungschef Albanese, der zur Zeit Australiens Nachbarn in Südostasien besucht und für mehr Lieferungen an Benzin, Diesel und Kerosin wirbt.
With the nation's fuel supplies under threat because of the Iran war, the Federal Government has described a fire at a Victorian oil refinery, as "a setback".

Australia has two oil refineries and late on Wednesday night one of them sprung a leak that became a half-day fire. Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the blaze at Viva Energy Refinery in Geelong was “not great timing”. But why is Australia reliant on such fragile energy infrastructure? In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by David Leaney, a Lecturer at the ANU College of Business and Economics and expert in international supply chain management.

Thursday Headlines: Iran threatens to stop all trade in the Gulf region Labor set to boost defence spending by $53bn over next decade Large fire broken out at one of Australia’s only two remaining oil refineries Second school shooting in Türkiye in two days A British tourist has paid a LOT of money for a kebab while on holiday in Brazil. Deep Dive: The government is unveiling its new defence strategy that places drones and autonomous systems at the forefront of how it prepares for future conflict. Shaped by lessons from Ukraine and the Middle East, the plan signals a major shift away from traditional big-ticket military assets toward cheaper, scalable technologies designed for speed, surveillance, and agility. But as the government commits billions to this transformation, questions remain about whether Australia can move fast enough to keep up with the pace of modern warfare, close critical capability gaps, and balance ambitious spending with existing defence priorities. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by retired Major General Mick Ryan, a former Australian Army commander and respected military strategist who has closely studied the war in Ukraine and the future of industrial-age warfare to explain how drones and autonomous systems are changing the way we approach conflicts.
