Petition Action

Hold a public enquiry into media scaremongering over non-existent fuel shortage.

Petition Details

The Government must hold a public enquiry into the scaremongering by the media and social media platforms which has led to the panic buying of fuel.

Additional Information

This has caused a national issue which was unnecessary and has now consumed unnecessary governmental and national resources which could have been better spent elsewhere. It is a misuse of a position of privilege by media outlets and social media platforms and that is grossly irresponsible.
