Wotto Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Soon it will flow through to everything. Where I work , we havent charged our customers delivery fees for 18 years- we are now looking at it. So yes- ultimately I believe it will have to affect the cost of getting stuff aired in. Oh and all you people that are thanking Kev for the emmissions scheme, just wait till it hits your electricity bill ( which it will because the coal fired power stations are also copping this ) AND added personal costs to running the vehicle ( they are working on the final details as to how they will charge individuals for the cost of our vehicles polluting the air after they view and discuss the Garnuat Report ) and thats ON TOP of the extra fuel prices expected due to the charges being imposed upon the oil refiners which will shove fuel up further intiailly :D Oh- that will all lead into inflation and yatta yatta yatta .... Go Kev- youre a superstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator WOKA Posted June 30, 2008 Super Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2008 So its all 'Kev's fault'..., not the build up over the last 20 ~ 30 years + that have lead to this circumstance. Give me a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talby Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Should we maybe put all this into perspective.....if we didn't need fuel to transport them around and power to run them i.e. PINBALL MACHINES we could de-commission the power stations and scrap all the cars, boats, planes and trucks and problem would be solved. There you go, it is Pinball's fault but I don't mind blaming Elmer Rudd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_AVD Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 So its all 'Kev's fault'..., not the build up over the last 20 ~ 30 years + that have lead to this circumstance. Give me a break. You know, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Kev bashing. Back on-topic: yes I have seen freight prices going up, but that's been happening for quite a few years really. I don't think it's jumped that much in just the last year though. Some sellers have been holding off on freight increases I suspect, so it makes the increase look large when you see it in one hit. :unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said it was all Kev's fault? :unsure We are saying what this guy is proposing is gonna cost us BIG time in the hip pocket. I COULDN'T give a rats ass about the enviroment. How about China and the US, what are they doing? nothing. Leaving good old MASSIVE Australia with all its 20 odd mill people to pay for something the whole world doesn't even support. Apparently they are going to "auction" of the emissions and reduce them? so how much are oil etc companys willing to pay? I dunno but dont think they care because it will cost the consumer in the end. Average mum and dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcadus Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 its called blame china:badgrin Australia could lead the world in cheaper, clean fuel with gas, if we didn't sell it to China for a few cents/L. The rebate helped although the cost of installation has crept up from approx $1800 to $2600:unsure and Howards' 12 % "for no reason " tax didn't help. Could never understand our cost of gas {seems artificially high) and the way the price fluctuates for no reason- I thought it followed petrol prices but it changes without warning anytime.
