00:01Hoping for a reprieve from rising fuel costs, but trying to make do in the meantime.
00:07It's really hard. It's not just a black and white decision. You don't really want to impact customers.
00:12With a fleet of diesel delivery vans to run, employees who are feeling pain at the pump,
00:17and costs being passed on by suppliers and distributors,
00:21this Canberra business is being squeezed from several directions.
00:25We'll get stock less frequently. It means the impact on us is we have to hold more stock.
00:29And while new fuel levies are appearing, other costs are hidden in invoices.
00:34You've got to go through each individual line item on an invoice to see where those costs might be coming
00:38through.
00:38I feel financially worried.
00:42Because of the fuel prices, we just can't afford to go away.
00:45I think it sucks. I'm a support worker. I do a lot of driving.
00:48Even the property sector is beginning to feel the ripple effect,
00:51with less speculation from buyers and more cancelled inspections.
00:56People are not going to drive around for 12 hours on a Saturday,
00:58looking at as many properties as they possibly can.
01:01There could be a return to more online sale activity.
01:04And while the peak group for agents wants longer term certainty,
01:07they welcome the federal government's cuts to the fuel excise.
01:11It's not going to solve anything, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
01:14Too late, too small.
01:15Yeah, it'll make a bit of a difference. I can buy a bit more food.
01:20Now they've changed it. I think it's good.
01:22I think the broader issue is can we get supply, you know, into April.
01:26Canberra livelihoods at the mercy of a conflict overseas.
