Now Rudd Pays the Price! (2 Viewers)

SYDNEY, Australia -- Kevin Rudd, or Chairman Rudd, is now commander of the world's largest Socialist economy according to Bored of Studies poster and Mussulman, sam04u.

If only he continues to promote education, at all other costs I'd be satisfied. That's all that's it important, the education of the people. Whether they be in poverty or not, solutions to all our problems lie in education. And so far as he has promised, Rudd is working towards investing money in education.

Promoting education won't make people any brighter, smarter or more intelligent, got to realise one day a new generation will breed idiots. Sadly, we're witnessing it now... Rudd voters.

Look - whatever happens, we have to remember that Australia's economy has been going great for awhile; the rest of the world is starting to crumble economically, and it only makes sense that Australia goes with it.

It's something that neither the Rudd not the Howard government could have prevented!

Petrol is awfully expensive, but hey - we could always take public transport. It's not that great and can be expensive, but how are we supposed to get a better one if we don't pay to use it more in the first place??

None could have prevented, but I'm damn sure 1 could have managed and dampened the effects much better
When something is bad, don't make it worse.

public transport tipped to rise... speculation doesn't help the matter at all, does it:wave:



Australia being an Island, acounts for $1.52~ additional aud (for 91)? Brain stuck in Commerce year 9.

It's called economics you cumsponge. OPEC caps their output, and all but subsidises petrol in their nations.

Also, you might not have noticed this, but Australia's one of them, whatchacalls it, Islands. Things done are has to gets here by one of them boats. Shipping petroleum is expensive, and that cost is passed onto the consumer.

Please explain how my analysis is incorrect? A great deal of the cost on petrol is the excise, but that's also combined with global crude oil prices.

Crude oil prices are high because OPEC has all but a monopoly on oil supplied to the west and they really don't want to increase production.

Spelt out simply enough for you? What should we do, invade the middle east so we can get cheap petrol for your shitty car? Threaten OPEC? Most of the crude oil is in the middle east except for a bit in Alaska and some scattered over the Americas and some in Eurasia.

There are a lot of elements that make up a petrol price, and you want the government to subsidise something that's unsustainable, and you're calling me a hippie? Subsidising petrol is about as left fucking wing as it gets, sugar, and right now you're about as red as chairman Mao.

You think I didn't know this idiot, why did I ask such questions then?
You should be just as red for being as simple as you have shown above. Thank god you realize... just now?
Nice adding of bandaids & touchups.

You think telling me high school economics (what I already know and waiting for some numbskull simpleton to come along and say the obvious instead of absurd reasons previously in this thread) is impressive. Internet buff man, good job m8.

Idiot.

Chuck another price out there, $3.70~ US/Gallon obviously in USA. They're obviously hurting too, nowhere near as much here.

Locally built green car, dreamer... Ford & GM arn't going to take such projects. The only chance would be Ford EU = expensive as the Jap options.

Mitsu Aus would've been the best option, now they've packed up.


It's beautiful, isn't it. My clutch is gone and I'm driving a V8 4WD (no other car) to & from work/train station/uni, the cost to fill up is ridiculous. Fortunately I'm not in a financial struggle like the working families Rudd claims to support.

Riet's post was correct.

Crank up the excise to make petrol cost $2.00L.

Why are you so pleased by the rise in petrol prices?

Given the worst affected in Sydney will be the lower classes from the Western Suburbs who work in the city who have to cope with the ridiculous toll prices or face the unreliable public transport or those from the country who need a car to get anywhere and have no access to public transport; why do you revel in their inability to meet the costs of something that is essential in modern society?

Other peoples' suffering is funny, especially when they're poor & dumb


EDIT: Also, people who call for lower petrol prices seem to never stop and think "hmm, where's all this petrol coming from anyway?"

 

[JaredR]

We bought a luxury SUV to commemorate the momentous occasion of when petrol passed $1 AUD. It was only at the end of 2006, too. I think. Why not take as much petrol as you can while it's still here?

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Peak oil theory has been around for decades.

It hasn't been in the commercial media ever though

They mention the war, arab bureaucrats talking shit about israel, offshore rigs or refineries getting taken out by storms, blah blah, but never LOL THERE'S ONLY A FINITE AMOUNT OF OIL AND THE DEMAND IS INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY

 

[Captain Gh3y]

I meant that's why you can't blame anyone for not knowing

 

[Captain Gh3y]

They're bogans, you can't expect them to know anything not presented in 2 minute infotainment stories on ch nein news

Meanwhile the world keeps using the equivalent of 84 million barrels per day

 

[JaredR]

I think that is the point that Captain is making, zimmerman.

The people that live in the Western suburbs and are "poor" are influenced and rely on commercial media. If the media doesn't tell them that we're going to run out of oil they won't know about it.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Does anyone think there's a conspiracy keeping everyone quiet about it?

 

[withoutaface]

Get ready for fuel at $2 a litre
Filling up with petrol

NRMA says the same speculators who "had a ball" in the sub-prime market could now push fuel to $2/l.

[Enteebee]

Hmm idk, I think most westerners still have a fair degree of luxury most of them could cut back on before they were just plain old 'fucked' and by the time they were getting to those sort of prices things such as oil shale would probably be profitable.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

There's a bit of evidence the tar sands are already starting to become cost effective just from a quick google news search

 

[Enteebee]

The sort of supplies that would be produced (once production actually began on those) would probably keep the price stable wherever it is at such a point (maybe... lets say $2.50/l for an australian?)

 

[Silver Persian]

Can I, like, buy petrol and horde it until it gets really expensive?

Better than investing in property

 

[withoutaface]

Yeah, tonnes of people jumped the commodities bandwagon last year when subprime went to shit.

Yeah buy a huge tank, then fill it up with petrol while everyone else pay more when you bought yours before the petrol prices rise up, great investment. You'll have Aboriginals sniffing on your tank soon.
