What are you suggesting? This facility isn't dependent on oil from the gulf states, if that's what you're thinking.

Which Middle Eastern country has been deliberately blowing up oil refineries of its Arab neighbours?
Is it the same Middle Eastern country who’s ambassador Australia expelled after an ASIO investigation.
In context, could this explosion be coincidental?
Interesting questions indeed.

Pretty sure the Aussies have repeatedly declined to take part in Trumps current round of stupidity in the ME so highly unlikely it's got anything to do with Iran.

Could be another player who benefits from high global oil prices.

One of only two refineries. We're cooked.
