00:02We were paying roughly around $145,000 to $155,000 a month in fuel. That is now up to about
00:11$300,000
00:12to $315,000 roughly. It's a significant jump and we've had to wear that. Yes, you'll be
00:21able to cope. It's just the fact that it's going to be very tight and you've got to be
00:26very careful on where you spend your money. I don't think you've seen the effect as of
00:30yet. We have put our prices up roughly 35% to 40%, which is a massive difference. I would
00:39say towards the end of this month, the start of next, that you will see a massive change
00:45in pricing at the supermarkets and at stores. It's going to hurt everybody. The government
00:52hasn't jumped on this quick enough. That's going to be the biggest problem. In the coming
01:00months, if it stays the way it is, it's going to be testing times for everybody in Australia.
01:05They've got to have some support for the transport industry. The fuel excise has done nothing
01:12really. It hasn't helped whatsoever. What needs to happen, I would say, is things that can
01:21help now, like rego cuts, relief packages, all that sort of stuff, that stuff will help
01:29you now. We've paid for our fuel now and we're not going to see a return with our prices gone
01:35up. We're not going to see that for 60 days. So we've got to fork two months' worth of fuel
01:39fuel out before we're going to see a return.
