Someone suggested in the letters in yesterday's paper that maybe it's time for people to go back to working from home like they were doing with Covid to reduce the demand for fuel until things get back to 'normal' (whatever that is).

Less cars on the roads also means a lot less pollution but I'm pretty sure the fuel companies wouldn't like that and I'm definitely sure the owners of CBD office buildings wouldn't like it (losing rent if offices are empty).

Currently we pay 52.6 cents tax for every litre we buy, then on top of that we pay %10 gst (you actually pay gst on the tax you pay). When petrol prices rise so does government income.
