Just remember it's wages *expectations* that the RBA is worried about. And poor Ampol had no choice but to charge higher prices and have profits go up 376%.
Good thing it only cost the govt $3.3bn to artificially lower petrol prices, no one else had any need of that money...

Why I’m not entering the Walkleys this year
Before I start ranting, I miss my blog, so here I am blogging. Hello everyone. Did you know that the Walkley Awards were started by Ampol Petroleum founder Sir William Gaston Walkley in 1956? I mus��...

Its as if all the subsidies for enormous utes has done nothing to help lower transport emissions
No surprise that with our roads clogged by enormous utes that the CEO of Ampol says “fuel demand in Australia hit a fresh all-time high”
Australia isn’t transitioning away from fossil fuels

When I wrote Slick I knew the petroleum industry had a long history of intervening in politics, but I didn't know Ampol helped put Menzies in power and that a staff writer at The Courier Mail helped draft the first press releases in his office at the paper on his day off, which were then syndicated.

#Auspok now can someone do Santos, Woodside, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Shell, Peabody, SENEX, Ampol and all the other child roasters vs. the average working family‘s tax outlays to raise the kids the kidcookers are all in for cooking.
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.

Day 4 of living dangerously in Melbourne.
Another trip to the post office, no terrifying people there. Just lovely staff.
Went into Woolworths, nothing scary other than the prices.
Filled the car up at Ampol - nothing to report.
Not at all scared.

Recharging off solar power at night! Thanks Ampol and AmpCharge. Why can’t these be in every servo? New servos pop up real quick in new estate areas but why not EV chargers?

The boss of fuel refiner and retailer Ampol says refining and selling petrol is becoming less profitable and may one day be phased out, as benefits from the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) flow through to its charging business.

So, I got an email from AMPOL with a link to help statewide fuel availability (provided by the government).
In it, it states that the are “temporary stockouts”.
So. AMPOL is being more honest about the Easter holiday fuel situation than our elected officials on a NATIONAL ADDRESS.

Aussies are buying EVs and hybrids at record rates.
So we need to keep the charging station rollout up.
The new 400KW (that's fast!) at Ampol on the M4 at Eastern Creek are a big boost for charging in Western Sydney.
