Food Rationing Warning For Australia As Iran War Threatens Key Supply Chains | 10 News+

Media should be shut down. The fear mongering literally incites shortages and panic buying.

These morons are trying to put fear in the community.

Food rationing..? Australia exports 70% of its agricultural production. Even if total production is down by 20% because of fertiliser and fuel supply, we still have more than enough for Australians. Exports will be down anyways due to the higher cost of shipping, which will ultimately reduce overseas demand. I feel like they’re just trying to make people comfortable with the inevitable price gouging that’ll happen soon. Make people think we’re “running out” of food to justify charging double for it at the checkout.

This is just fear mongering. Now people will start panic buying and they will CREATE a food shortage. Well done geniuses! 🙄

Even if this is true, it's dangerous to spread panic like this. I hate to say it but the government needs to put a gag order on the media for this kind of incitement. This is not a game.

Does this mean we will finally send home the half a million temporary visa holders? What a quick way to reduce demand.

You forgot one critical product... TOILET PAPER! 😂

Australia, with only 27 million people in the 6th largest territory and the 17th largest economy, is at risk of starvation? That was the biggest stupidity the government created and the media spread this week.

Stop trying to actively spark panic. Report on what is happening. Don't report on the worst possible scenario if everything goes wrong. That is not news.

Steve Keen also bet his house on a property crash we never had about 10 years ago.

Go to the supermarket and look at the label and see where the food is made. Even if it's made here; it's not 100% made here !

Didnt u just say a few hourd ago, thay indonesia is gonna send us fertilizer? 😂make up ur mind

Thank you to the comment section and those saying this is bull. I have a chronic anxiety disorder and you have all made me feel better.

Took me 30 seconds to debunk your sad little attempt at fearmongering- *Australia’s quiet lifeline amid supply chaos as Indonesia says it will keep sending fertiliser and urea* "Indonesia has vowed to keep supplying Australia with fertiliser and urea amid a critical global shortage threatening winter crops due to the war in the Middle East. Rahmad Pribadi, the head of Indonesia’s state-owned fertiliser manufacturer, reportedly had a discussion last week with Australia’s ambassador in Jakarta, Rod Brazier, and told him the supply of the crucial materials would continue. “Food security is a shared responsibility because of our intertwined and interconnected value chain,” Mr Pribadi told The Australian."

With every war, comes famine. Prepare now. Don't focus on fuel. Focus on food. Start growing your own and have multiple levels of supply. DO NOT WAIT

If we have a food shortage it will be artificially created by the government and they should be the only ones to blame for mismanagement of our country’s resources. Already they have made the country poor by not taxing companies pillaging our natural resources. We should be richer than Denmark which has over 1 trillion in their national fund from charging the proper amount to companies extracting resources.

selling fear 😂😂😂

From anecdotal whispers I've heard on the grapevine, our farmers already have sufficient fertilizer for the winter crops ... but after that is the unknown, I guess. I think we will be able to produce food, albeit at reduced output, but getting it to the supermarkets is going to be another story. Fuel and food rationing must be implemented before it's too late because otherwise food security will be decided by who can afford to horde it all at inflated prices, and the poorest will be sacrificed to famine.

We'll have to stop exporting our seafood to feed locals

we are being gaslighted again.
