Hmm, lets see, the Govt is making more tax and why wont they force the
fuel companies to reduce the 
prices?
And I find it very hard to belive that its THAT much more to produce the
petrol.  I mean refineries 
have better processes these days to make fuel cheaper than ever before. 
If the people that worked 
there werent to damn lazy then the fuel may go down approx 2c/litre and if
they weeded out all the 
dead wood from Supply to Retail then that would take another 5cents off,
Im sure that if they REALLY 
wanted to they could supply petrol as low as $1litre at the moment. Why
dont they? Well cause then 
there would be another 1000 or so bums at centrelink and the shareholders
wouldnt get thier nice 
dividends each 3 months.

Paper hat Id say!
