I’d also like to say thank you to every Western Australia working this weekend to keep our state moving, particularly those getting our fuel to where it’s needed most. Enjoy your Easter long weekend and stay safe WA.

I understand these are anxious times. But Western Australia has stared down global challenges before, and we will get through this the way we always do: together.

WA’s weekly fuel update for Friday, 3 April 2026.

This will mean cheaper fuel for families, farmers and business and comes on top if the 26.3 cent reduction funded by the Commonwealth Government. It will be funded through the return of up to $400 million in GST and will last until 30 June.

The fuel shock caused by the war in the Middle East is placing significant pressure on global economies and household budgets. That's why State and Territory leaders have this morning agreed to fund a further 5.7 cent reduction in the fuel excise.

We’re dropping fuel prices by a further 5.7¢ per litre. Combined with the 26.3¢ excise cut, that’s a total saving of 32¢ per litre.

I welcome the Prime Minister's decision to halve the fuel excise for three months, saving WA motorists 26.3 cents per litre.

We’re working closely with fuel suppliers to support a stable and reliable supply across the State, including in regional communities. Western Australia has stared down global challenges before, and we will do what we need to do to keep WA strong.

I know this is an anxious time for many Western Australians. I want to reassure Western Australians that your state government is doing everything it can to address these concerns.

WA’s weekly fuel update for Friday, 27 March 2026.

I know there is a lot of anxiety about fuel security, and I want to assure Western Australians that my Government is doing everything it can to address these concerns. These new measures will ensure WA’s interests are protected at the national level and that we keep WA strong.

The appointment of a Fuel Security State Controller and establishment of a State Management Team will facilitate coordination across both State Government agencies and with the Commonwealth Government, in the delivery of WA’s fuel security response.

This morning the Prime Minister convened a meeting of National Cabinet. It was an important step forward to drive national coordination on fuel security and fuel supply.
