Millions of Queenslanders pay the most for fuel compared to anywhere else in Australia.
In Brisbane you’ll pay on average $1.85 per litre for unleaded, while in regional places like Weipa and Longreach, that price can reach more than $2.20.
That’s why Labor has a plan to cap the amount fuel stations can increase their prices by 5c per day.
It’s something that’s been called for by Queensland’s peak body representing drivers – the RACQ.
It means petrol stations can’t gouge you with huge and unjustified spikes.
Under Labor’s plan, if a petrol station wants to increase its prices – it can only do so by 5 cents.
And they’ll need to let you know of that increase by 2pm the day before.
It does not preclude them from decreasing prices, and you’ll know where’s cheapest before you fill up the next day.
If you’re sick of unaffordable fuel prices, join our fight to force the LNP to make transport more affordable again.
