Credit where due – PM Turnbull is having a win with falling gas prices – Larger chart. Chart from 2012
but it seems a secret. I started warning of exploding energy prices on 6 June 2016 – did that pan out. Can update through Oct when data available. Top Link. I should have added for some that despite the Abbott/Turnbull Govts being lame ducks – by that I mean unable to get legislation through the Senate unless it has a GreenLabor flavour – the Feds have existing powers over exports. So a whisper to the gas majors about using the “export powers” and all of a sudden you have their undivided attention.
Good scheme! Here the new government has stated intent to pass legislation that will all local authorities to levy a petrol tax in order to finance “infrastructure” in their respective regions.
Wait for it! 🙁

Well nobody can claim that TaxCinda did not talk taxes during the election campaign. Maybe not an Auckland fuel tax. I recall a subject she raised early in her campaign was – a tax on water. I know it sounds unbelievable but people voted for her.
