00:01In Crescent Head on the Mid-North Coast, Unleaded's going for an eye-watering $3.21 a litre.
00:08100% in four weeks. And then they say, oh, we've got plenty of fuel, we've got three new boats
00:13coming in with plenty of fuel, but the price is not going down.
00:16It will, thanks to today's fuel excise cut, but retailers say the savings will take time to flow through to
00:22customers.
00:23Most of the service stations still have the fuel lying their tank at higher prices, so no one can sell
00:29fuel at loss.
00:31In New South Wales, 75 service stations are out of fuel altogether, while more than 240 have no diesel.
00:38This retailer's asking customers to abide by a 40 litre limit.
00:42That works because people are topping up as opposed to hoarding.
00:47While there's uncertainty about the need for future rationing, the Premier's clear about who will get priority over the diesel
00:54supply.
00:55Emergency services, New South Wales hospitals, utilities.
00:59National cabinets delivered relief for trucking companies with the heavy vehicle road user charge reduced to zero, but there was
01:05no such help for airlines.
01:08Fly Pelican runs services to places like Cobar and Narrabri and its fuel prices have more than doubled.
01:13Road services, air services, they're all important to keeping Australia going, so it should be fair across the board.
01:19If fuel shipments start drying up, working from home could be encouraged, and more of us could be asked to
01:25consider public transport.
01:27But the state government's no closer to making that any cheaper.
01:30There's no such thing as free public transport. At the end of the day, someone's paying for it.
01:35I think it's a bit harsh, especially because Tasmania and Victoria have now done it.
01:39But it's more than $100 million a month that the government wants reserved in case the economy goes off the
01:45rails.
01:46get to deliver that shipments to our shipments.
01:46Thank you so much, you can get us.
01:47At the end of the day, we don't get to travel and we want to keep our ships in charge.
01:47Not as soon as possible, we want to get, but the capital that area is that the shipments
01:47will be around to that shipments that are when we're ready to do.
01:48We want to get to travel so far from your shipments and now we're going to be there.
01:48Before you get to travel, you can get a travel.
