Has anyone been able to find a contact address/phone no/email/website for the petrol commissioner. Have had a good look but he seems to be the invisible man.
Yesterday unleaded in
Adelaide was $1.07 and diesel was $1.45 !! I've really really got to vent my anger and the pet com is the man to do it to. I realize that it will make no difference to the situation but it has to be done.
So if anyone has found a contact please post it so that we (diesel owners) might all get it off our chests.l

AFAIK the legislation was defeated in the senate last week or so, so there is no Petrol commissioner now.

That was national Fuel Watch, don't know if it affects the appointment of a Petrol/Fuel Commissioner??
(Not that any of it will make any difference anyway as it was always a Rudd clap trap policy)

Yeah thats about right based on a pump price of $1.45 less GST Input tax Credit = $1.31 less .38 cents fuel tax rebate means your net cost is around .92 cents.
Obviously it will vary based on the pump price at any given time.
Just don't get caught using the rebated fuel in your 4wd :-)

Q; What does the Petrol Commissioner Do?
a; Just another job for the Boys.
b; Actually has the power to look in to the books of oil companies.
c; Will report back to the government how oil companies are gouging the pump price.
d; He is the Phantom, you hear of him, but never see him. The Ghost that walks.
Ok, It's a tough one, I'll remind you, you have three life lines left.
1; 50-50, That will leave one choice.
2; Ask the audience, Now they might not know themselves. so that leaves,
3; Phone a friend.
A; I really don't know Eddie, I don't think any of my life lines will be of any help. I'm just going to have a guess, It's a;
We'll be back just after the break to let you know.

I wish you
well in your endeavor to try and do something and make a stand. how ever we are a captive audience.
