World Parity Pricing on fuel for yet another supposed oil shortage scare in the 1970’s under Fraser Govt. via then Treasurure John Howard sent the cost of fuel on its artificially high prices indexed bike to reap Government a motza in excise and tax until 1996 when indexation was removed on all.. and now gas is indexed and adds to the exceedingly high prices and a diberate forced shortage in Australia due to export preferences to gain even higher profit margins by creating shortages on domestic market. In 1996 the component on all consumer purchases was 20 % transport charges. Factors such as confected climate change, closing down of outdated refineries and still meeting OPEC oil prices although we source our fuel through Singapore has put our prices on a collision course with exorbitant. Enquiry after enquiry by Government, The ACCC it whomever has failed to resolve the enormous gouging we are experiencing by rapacious Government and private enterprises. We are being ripped off and with this current anti fossil fuel agenda that Government foolishly follows will see our entire transport industry, private and domestic crippled under idiocies line The Paris Accord which will attack private transport for one and force prices further through the roof to stratospheric prices muted to be around $2.70’per litre ULP 91 and diesel over $3.00 litre. Stop the price hikes.. reduce our costs or suffer at the ballot box. Your choice Government. This is your fault. You set the. Linate for it. Now resolve it.

Petrol prices are now at a level where they are closing businesses, forcing people to stay home, and will from now on be a significant issue for the electorate. The government has done nothing to reduce prices up to this point.

Fuel of all description should be a lot cheaper. At the price it is now employers have higher fuel costs and most importantly pensioners and disabled need fuel but at this price all people can’t afford it. I call on Mr Morrison to step in and stop this high fuel cost. Does the government want someone’s death on their hands because somebody couldn’t afford fuel to go to the hospital. Lower the cost of ⛽️

This is beyond a joke, when oil is the cheapest it has ever been and fuel prices continue to rise even when it went to be a low cycle so how much will it go up on a high cycle... This needs to be regulated very closely, just bloody do something about it already..
