00:00In March, we had 97 tankers arrived with the general of Australia.
00:04In April, it was going to be 26.
00:07It's a lot of fuel.
00:09On Monday, the Prime Minister was called for the Cabinet to discuss fuel consultation meetings.
00:16So we had another major of what's going to come.
00:21So, what's happening now will be all more something like that.
00:27The fuel is written from the $1.65 for $3.00 that's released.
00:32It's a 60% increase in our latest local growth situation.
00:37Most of the quality assume would be confident that that fuel is about 30% of our operating costs.
00:46So $1.30 rise is a 40% increase, just garnered the cost of the fuel.
00:52Nothing else, not only to cover the cost of holding our debt, things like that.
00:57We've asked for a temporary reduction in the road user charge.
01:01What is the road user charge?
01:05Fueling size is 52.6 cents a pound.
01:09We get a 20.4 cent a litre fuel tax credit back.
01:13So we're effectively paying 32.46.
01:15That is the road user charge that we play.
01:19By removing the road user charge, we can claim the whole 52.6 cents a litre fuel tax credit back.
01:26The process is already there.
01:27We wouldn't let them do that.
01:29It doesn't change anything.
01:31The general public is the only thing we get.
01:34It targets freight and supports freight.
01:38It helps people.
01:39It helps people.
01:39It costs them that way.
01:40We want to make the intersc violating my Levator.
01:40So here, our new verf COD is done now.
01:40The idea is that TRI will force bones.
01:40And the border is the encased priority.
01:40The temperature doesn't have to lose weight.
