Energy Minister Chris Bowen said, 'Easter is a special time, so take a break but only get the fuel you need.'

Fuel prices in Australia have gone up since the US-Israel war with Iran started and the Strait of Hormuz closed.

312 out of 8,000 petrol stations in Australia have run out of diesel, mostly in rural areas.

Australia has 39 days of petrol, 29 days of diesel, and 30 days of jet fuel in reserve.

Australia gets 90% of its fuel from the Middle East and is affected by the conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz is important for oil and gas shipments, and its closure has caused fuel shortages.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the economic effects of the war will be felt for months.

Australia is not part of the war, but Australians are paying more for fuel. The Prime Minister asked people to use less fuel and take public transport.

People should use less fuel and take public transport when possible.

A few ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz recently.

A French ship went through the strait on Friday, according to reports.

It's not clear how the ship got permission to pass through.

This was the first Western European ship to go through the strait since the conflict started.

Iran says some ships can use the strait, but many have been attacked.

A Japanese ship carrying gas also went through the strait.

A Turkish ship crossed the strait on Saturday, the second to do so.

The first Turkish ship crossed with Iran's permission on March 13.

Turkey's transport minister said two of their ships made it through. This happened because of their efforts and the ships' connections to Iran.

A lot of the world's oil and gas goes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Not all shipping has stopped, but it's down by about 95%.

About 100 ships have been able to pass through the strait, according to data from late March.
