WTF is Rudd supposed to do about petrol?

Oil is running out. It's price is determined internationally. There's not much Rudd can do about it.

You do know how much revenue from each tank of fuel goes straight to the government as part of the excise tax, right?

Not much Rudd can do indeed.

isnt it something like 30c per litre that goes straight to the government?

if the case we would be paying around 1.20-1.30 p.l

Its something like 37.7 cents plus 10% GST so that in this situation is 17 cents.

The problem is that demand is simply exceeding supply and they could pump more oil out but when something is a necessity they can limit the supply to maximise there profits.

Also factors like the need to improve infrstructure and increase labour. The thing saving us is the rising US dollar as we buy it in US dollars.
