Slide 1 of 4 - Refinery fire - An "unprecedented" fire at a major oil refinery in Geelong has taken firefighters 12 hours to extinguish. Authorities say a gas leak is being investigated as the cause. The plant, which supplies about 10 per cent of the country's fuel, remains partly operational and the company says fuel production is secure. The prime minister says the damage is not enough to escalate Australia to the next level of the government's fuel security plan.
