The useless government of this country, doesn't matter who it is either, will do nothing about energy costs until our economy is as f###ed as most of Europe's is....then they will blame us!You are 100% correct. Have a look what a Fisherman or Farmer pays for his diesel compared to pump prices. No, it is not just the 10% GST off.
About 47% Customs & Excise tax off. Every time the price of oil goes up, the Government makes a shitload. So, your all paying about twice as much as you should be. The only reason that Pommie Immigrant bitch Gillard didn't bring in Carbon Tax on Petrol was because she'd loose too many votes. But all the farmers & commercial transport diesel vehicle operators will be paying Carbon Tax on Diesel, so all your food bills will skyrocket, from actual farming food production costs, to transport of all the food to the supermarkets. Oh don't worry, she'll "compensate" you by making you all fuc*in starve
Well said Unfortunately in this country all we do is bitch but dont do anything about it. In some foreign countries its the norm to protest, smash, burn and destroy things until the government is overthrown. Wonder how much more ass f*&^ing we will endure before we actually put our words into action.......Someone pass me the vasoline, its time to lube up
