... 2 The RACT was just on ABC Hobart Radio claiming that fuel may have risen by about $0.05 a litre. Are they just shills for the petroleum retail industry? I guess the motorists' friend have a cosy $0.06 per litre discount deal with one of the major retail chains to protect. #ConflictOfInterest

Last week, a fair proportion of Hobart servos were at about 156.9 a litre, in fact I filled up at that price at Ampol Moonah Thursday. Today, average price seems to be about 176.9. I didn't realise it was so quick to get fuel from its source to Tasmania and markup for war tax on new stock. #politas

Reminder: May 2021. Then Liberal Govt MP Tim Wilson joined a run in support of Indigenous Australians, leading the pack ... for the first 100m as it left Parliament House. Then, when the tv cameras stopped filming, he turned and went back to his office. πŸ™„ #auspol
