QLD Fuel Set to Rise 9 cents ...

[JEEPCHIK]

I heard on the radio that it's going to be a 8.4cent increase or something like that, so it might as well be 9 cents.

I voted for the other guy

I reckon Jasper's on the money here. The mining export gravy train has left the station!

You've got enough going wrong up there without getting upset at a light hearted sarcastic post

Hey Carves, nah not bent out of shape, well apart from no daylight savings.

it wouldn't matter whichever party was in, effectively raise taxes to pay for state debt and you'll get a neg reaction. I was being a little sarky myself

Perhaps there is a link between the financial management and daylight savings ???

The sun goes east to west .... yet daylight saving implementation seems to run south to north ....

All the money seems to be going in the wrong direction too .......

One department for both perhaps

The belt tightened in the mining sector, its far from collapsed, construction has pulled right back but mining is still going.
Govt allover are just over spending in the wrong areas
