Why do you go off on such tangents?
What is wrong with merely highlighting than the cost of fuel is not the be all end all in the grand scheme of running a motor vehicle?
Why the need to go off on unsubstantiated claims about workers pay rises?
Go back and read that thread carefully next time because now you are just embarrassing yourself.
so you deny that petrol is expensive even to someone on a minimum income worker ??
just go back and read the sh.t you post.
every thread about workers payrises you are always there on the thread denying the workers because it is toooooo expensivvvvvvve for the employer. But when it comes to the high cost of filling up your petrol tank it is always verrrryyy veryyyyyy cheeeeeeapp !!
Petrol can be, or not be, an expensive part of owning and running a vehicle.
If you are under 30 in NSW, you cop a green slip of $480, a rego of about $320, chuck in some comphrehensive insurance of $600 or so and you are already at $1,400. Thats the equivelent of 8,940kms in a commodore or falcon with regular unleaded at $1.45.
Then there is a standard set of tyres ($640), two services a year ($440), lease, repayments or depreciation and it goes on and on.
I dont begrude anyone a payrise, and believe all workers should get a CPI raise without fail. Any increase above CPI should be met with improved production or efficiencies. Hardly denying anyone am I.
