Australia's Prime Minister will address the nation tonight outlining how Australians can help with the fuel crisis. 

It's understood Anthony Albanese will urge people to save fuel for industries that most need it. 

It's the first time an Australian Prime Minister has delivered a national address since Scott Morrison did during Covid-19 in March 2020. 

Australian correspondent Charles Croucher says the timing is strategic. 

"This is an attempt to put everyone on the same page, before we go into that Easter long weekend and then school holidays over here. You kind of lose the audience if you're the PM."
