The federal government has secured an extra 40 million litres of diesel to address bottlenecked Queensland supplies.
An agreement between Export Finance Australia and independent supplier Freedom Fuels should see the shipment arrive in Brisbane in coming days.
It will then be distributed across the state to meet supply constraints in regional and independent service stations from June onwards.
Anthony Albanese says the fuel is in addition to 16 shipments already secured with help from Ampol, BP, IOR and Viva Energy in response to global supply instability triggered by the Middle East conflict.
"This is a win for regional Queensland when they need it most," the prime minister said on Saturday.
"(It comes via) a partnership between our government and a business with demonstrated and reliable pathways to ensure fuel gets to farmers and growers who need it."
