Director of the National Roads and Motorists' Association Director Graham Blight visited the Shire to discuss fuel security with Narromine mayor, Bill McAnally.

Australia does not have a fuel security policy despite importing 99 per cent of their fuel, according to Mr Blight.

The NRMA have pushed for a Senate inquiry to establish why Australia does not have one.

"It doesn't look good," he said.

"We surveyed 75 countries and we're the only one that doesn't have a proper policy. The issue is quite serious."

Local car dealer, Robert Handsaker agrees.

"It's always a concern. We live in a vast country, we don't have the luxury like our city cousins of public transport or electric trains," he said.

Mr Blight said the biggest challenge has been getting the federal government to address the issue.

"While the trade routes are open and there is no hostility and we have the money, we'll get it (the fuel),"he said.

"The problem is now days unexpected is the expected. We'd be in serious troubles."

The NRMA campaign suggests Australia should be searching for local fuel sources.

"We've got over imported fuels," Mr Blight said.

"We're a long way behind the rest of the world.

"We need to secure it, because everything can change so quickly."

If fuel was not available, stock, food and transportation around the country would grind to a hault.

"Farmers can't do anything," Mr Handsaker said.

"Our survival relies on fuel."

Mr Blight is encouraging councils and indiviuals to take a stance on the fuel security issues in Australia.

"We'll talk to councils and get them to assess what they're going to do," he said.

Mr Blight travelled to Trangie and Nyngan yesterday and is planning on visiting Cobartoday.
