australia has almost no fuel refining capacity

most of australia has less than 2 weeks of gasoline and imports it on weekly barges from singapore.

in the XXIer century some australia cities have run out of gasoline for half a day, an afternoon, a few days

And you know how much oil is found in the vast lands of Singapore... That stuff floating to Australia is probably Russian oil https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/09/looph...

> XXIer century

Sorry, but it's a bit funny. Based on the name I assume you're French (speaking, at least)?

That "XXIer" contraption is really funny to me, I speak a bit of French. In English it's twenty first so XXI or XXIst, in French as far I know it's vingt et unième, so XXI or XXIème.

Is "XXIer" from another French dialect or another language entirely?

[femtozer]

As a french person, it looks weird to me. I would only use it for the very first century: Ier siècle.

Probably German (Zwanzig Erster)

See, that's the problem with (my) assumptions :-D

That's unbelievable. A lot of 3rd world countries have their own refineries.. Wow.
