I notice the large oil refinery at Altona in Australia is due to close.
New Zealand's one oil refinery at Whangarei in Northland is also to become a fuel terminal only. But for Australia, given it is a large developed economy, not being able to refine its own crude leaves it vulnerable in times of war. Key infrastructure must be protected. There really is no alternative for this; having to import all fuel supplies already refined means the country can be defeated by simply shutting off that supply. Wake up Australia and New Zealand.
