WW2 Petrol Ration Cards
c. 1949Western Australian WW2 Petrol Ration Cards
Australia introduced rationing regulations for food, petrol and clothing on 14 May 1942 to manage expected shortages. It was hoped rationing would ensure the equitable distribution of limited resources, curb spending which would lead to increased savings, which in turn could be invested in war loans.
Rationing in Australia was never as harsh as in Britain. It was enforced by the use of coupons and was limited to petrol, clothing, tea, sugar, butter, and meat but from time to time, eggs and milk were also rationed.
