The surge in petrol prices due to the ongoing conflict in Iran is a stark reminder of our reliance on fossil fuels.

As the cost of petrol skyrockets, millions in Australia are grappling with unpredictable petrol prices that are a strain on their budgets and threaten their financial stability and way of life, with people 'panic buying' petrol here and overseas.

This is where electric vehicles (EVs) are not just a choice, but should be seen as a serious solution and an essential part of our lives. They offer a direct alternative from overseas oil markets owned by a few.

We've tried so many things to get 'competition' into the fuel market to reduce prices and they simply are not working.

Now, more than ever, embracing electric cars as a result is vital. We don't have a choice anymore either as petrol goes over $2.00 per litre and over $2.60 a litre for diesel.

Yes Nathan,

There is a current surge in fuel/energy costs.
This will certainly make some of those who are considering a car purchase evaluate both hybrid and electric cars.

I find it ironic, however, how many of those who rail against perceived removal of personal freedoms seem to be the most vocal opponents to the decentralisation of energy and the personal choices that go with that.

The Forums TRUMP SUPPORTERS have been rather quiet since their mad folk hero launched his war of aggression on the people of the Middle East, gambling on how many innocent women and children they can murder. In Australia we are fortunate that the consequences thus far have only been economic, with higher interest rates, higher mortgages, higher inflation, higher petrol prices and supply shortages. Lets thank the Un-Australian Trump supporters and the dogs of the Coalition and One Nation political parties who support Trump and his attacks on all of us.

I look forward to a reply from mhaze, ttbn, GY, Individual, and a few other brain washed TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

We had toilet rolls disappearing at prolific rates and now we have petrol disappearing at prolific rates. We are in panic mode. How dangerous is it to store an oversupply of lawnmower fuel for no reason. All it has done is set fuel in short supply because their next delivery date will not come until that date is due.
Stoc piling of fuel should invalidate insurance claims hopefully.

Actually the war is on the manic leaders of Iran who are violently and viciously suppressing the people of the Middle East. But Paul has always supported the totalitarians against the people they suppress so it's little wonder that he supports the mad Ayatollahs

Trumpster,

As an Un-Australian you have supported the actions of Trump against our country. If the only person killed in this aggressive war waged by the mad fool in the White House was the Ayatollah, I wouldn't be terribly concerned, but since the warmongers in America, in cooperation with their Zionist mates, are killing thousands of innocent men, women and children, then I am concerned. Did you not agree with the Zionists indiscriminately murdering thousands of innocent women and children in Gaze? Now you are happy that the Iranians are suffering the same fate.

Why is the perversion of war so appealing to you?
