WE got some real problems haven't we. I don't want this to be political. I leased a servo for 22years & industry magazines tell you a lot news papers don,t because it's not headline grabbing. the press also have a lot to answer for IMHO. What is the good of storing oil in Australia if we can't refine it. Everyone is on their hobby horse about building refineries in Australia, at what cost & who is paying. Private enterprise won't because of the cost. The overseas refineries supplying our fuel produce massive amounts of fuel, we couldn't use it all, but they have to produce those amounts to be competitive. It simply isn't economical for us.The US uses 20 mil barrels of oil/day we use 1 mill barrels. they don't even know we're here. Now are we short of fuel or is it due to A** holes stock piling. One figure I haven't seen is daily fuel sales compared to before this event. Now I'm sure I will sleep better tonight.

Not really News as such, but a bloke on another forum has created https://gotfuel.al3x.au/

Their explanation was that it's based of the FuelCheck API, where the stations have to update their price data. Those that haven't reported in X days are assumed to be out, or if they stop reporting diesel for example, that they must be put of diesel

Fuel excise for unleaded and diesel to be halved for three months, just announced by govt, let's hope the ACCC enforce it.

Bowen said this morning dont expect instant drop in prices on Wednesday, the fuel in the servo tanks has already paid GST... so.... when?

"Well, as soon as the new petrol arrives that they have not paid the tax on," he said.

He's a bright spark, gst and excise are two completely different things. The cynic in me predicts a very short term drop and then prices will creep back up.
