Dear Australia: fuel prices are not about to jump. What is about to happen is that you will pay something closer to the real price of oil reliance, rather than forcing your fellow taxpayers who either don't drive or drive less to make up the difference. Either way, it all goes into the superprofit blood money bonanza of fossil fuel companies who are selling you the worst fuel for the highest prices. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-02/fuel-excise-cut-to-end-in-august-2/106965630
