Good morning people,
An hour ago I had a delivery of 200Lt drum of Methanol. My last purchase (5 months ago) was at $250.00 per drum. This delivery had a price increase to $260.00 per drum. The delivery guy from CALTEX was telling me that this price is the old price and it is believed that there is a govt hike (he says excise) imminent of 35 cents more per litre. Has anyone heard of this price hike. All he could tell me was that it will apply to all new deliveries, he is not absolutely sure about the figure but that is what is being said at the depot. Be interested if anyone else has heard of this. Could be a state govt venture??? My local MP Andrew Mc Namara (yes the chairman of the fuel committee for the State Govt) in a local paper column told us that fuel will in the very near future be $2.00 / litre - So, do not be surprised. These are interesting comments made just before the announcement that he was to chair the fuel investigating committee. I wonder if this is part of the softening up of their Psychic decision making, that is to prepare us for an already pre conceived decision. Maybe they will be taking away the fuel subsidy in Queensland. Who knows??
I have worked for various Govts for over 40 years, I dont like the feel of this at all. Then again I may be (well I know I am) becoming cynical in my old age Anyone in the know, or heard anything similar???
