(Reid, 2015) The aim for the Australian troops was to stop the Japanese from reaching Port Moresby so that they didn’t have a clear path to Australia. Their hard work paid off because they forced the Japanese to abandon their plan to take Port Moresby. Their efforts came at a cost though; 607 Australian troops died and 1015 troops were wounded during the battle. Despite the challenging conditions, their lack of experience in fighting, and the high number of deaths; the Australian troops achieved what they wanted to achieve and pushed the Japanese
During the fighting, Australian soldiers killed swathes of Japanese, including their commander, causing over 85% casualties in a force of at least 16,000 while only suffering 2500 dead themselves. The campaign ended as a crucial victory due to the multiple defeats it caused the Japanese which stopped their momentum and helped turn the tide of the war in the South Pacific in the allies’ favour. While the campaign was an overall success, it was far from perfect and it had its fair share of problems, mainly with the supplies at Myola, but also with the troops that were deployed. If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of the AIF at Isurava, the Militia would have been annihilated and the Japanese would have marched straight into Port Moresby with dangerous consequences for Australia and the rest of the war

The reason the oil prices spiked briefly during Hurricane Irene is because the supply of oil nationwide was going to reduce because of the closure of some oil refineries that were along the path of the hurricane. The closed refineries at that time had a production capacity of approximately a million barrels per day. This meant that the market supply of oil reduced significantly, causing the oil prices to soar because of a shortage in oil supply. After the refineries were opened, when Hurricane Irene had passed, the supply steadily went back to the normal market supply, this resulted in the gradual price reduce of oil. There are other products that experienced an increase in prices as the oil prices increased.
