Buggar,

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

This morning, on the idoit box.
They interviewed the ACCC Commissioner.
FFS, what a puppet to the government.
She said, and I quote.
"We'll be asking retailers to show their costings and justify"
Then she went on to say,
"Consumers need to use the Fuel apps to find the cheapest fuel"
She was asked about the fuel that was already in the country.
She deflected that market forces.
Question, is there still a Fuel Commissioner, that Rudd set up?

Good onya.
We've visited there twice now in the last four years.
Enjoyed it, greatly.
All the best

$3.20L in Yarralin. Been that price for... over two years now (that I can vouch for)

Still... I'm gunna' fill the entire 270L this arvo to make sure we're covered in case of shortages.

This could hurt ya lap there Fizzie! Although its a bullShit fear mongering article.. but could it get to $4?

Fuel prices are already soaring to nearly $4 per litre in some parts of Australia – with fears it will climb higher as the Middle East conflict continues to its fourth day.

Remote parts of Northern Territory, including Ramingining located 560 km east of Darwin in Arnhem Land, are currently paying $3.99 per litre for diesel.  (probably nearly normal!)

Fuel prices have already hit astonishing levels in some parts of Australia, amid the war on Iran hitting drivers at the bowser.


The NRMA says the average price for regular unleaded per litre across the country is:

• Sydney 209.5c
• Melbourne 207.7c
• Brisbane 210.2c
• Adelaide 185.0c
• Perth 189.1c
