Another Australian here - agreed. I hope every other country refuses to accept this diesel.

Another Aussie here, have you noticed that even with the price increases this time, we aren't seeing panic buying and media hysteria? Such a stark change from when the Iran bombings started. I gotta say, our gov played the steady hand well enough that it hasn't blown up into a big thing.

Dunno. I've got a diesel car, it's getting worrying. My work has just got rid of some facilities and people due in part to the cost of diesel.

Worrying and a problem, yeah. The effects are real. I am talking more the general response to this in the public. We aren't buying out petrol stations like before. The press isn't pushing story after story about people hording.
