While this levy on fuel has been in place, the ridiculous and arbitrary rise and fall in fuel prices has not occurred. Why is that ?

I’ve been getting unleaded for $1.50 and less. Before the reduction I could get it for that when other places not a million miles away could be 80 cents per litre dearer.

That the fluctuations have ceased during recent times seem to me to be proof that the rises are nothing but price gouging, proving once again that the ACCC are a toothless tiger.

So I have to assume that when/if things get back to “normal”, the fuel suppliers will go back to their previous merry ways with zero consequences.
