Greetings,
REMINDER
Rally Parramatta
If you are sick of paying around the $1 litre for fuel.
If you run a small business and your turnover is down.
If you are sick of being an unpaid tax collector.
If you are opposed to fuel prices going up in February.
If you are a consumer on a fixed income and have found that you now don't
have enough to go around, then you have
a need, a duty to yourself to join in the march and rally.
1982 crude oil price was $45 a barrel, petrol was 37c per litre
2000 crude oil price is $30 a barrel, petrol starts at 93c per litre
The tax take at the bowser is 65% of the bowser price.
If your fuel is costing $1.00 per litre the tax component is 65cents.
This makes petrol 35c a litre this is consistent with the crude oil costs.
Diesel is even a bigger ripoff.
Interviewing shop keepers in Parramatta through the week we found sales down
as much as 50%. Many retailers have absorbed the GST and the costs of
complying but it has made no difference to the drop in sales. Retailers
repeatedly told us that up to 70 hours was required to collect the
information required to comply with GST paperwork. The result work harder
for less.
Australia is now well and truly on the skids, are you going to sit by and
let it slide into poverty? We need your help and we need it now. Regards
Joe Bryant.
