    "perhaps the government should be looking at ways to reduce the cost of diesel."

    They could do that with the stroke of a pen, Dave.
    Diesel was cheaper than petrol pre-GST. Then Meg Lees & Harradine reckoned diesel was bad for the environment & they had the balance of power in the Senate to block Howard's GST.
    So they approved his GST if he made diesel dearer.
    Diesel was thus made dearer with the stroke of a pen.....and could be made cheaper again with the stroke of a pen......if someone wanted to do it and wasnt making a fortune in GST on the current high inflated price...........
