ABC Business Daily · Fuel price fickleness · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

But the price of Brent crude, the product that is then refined into the petrol and diesel and jet fuel products that we use, voice-verified

has since come down after Trump paused strikes on Iran. voice-verified

We've seen it fall substantially. voice-verified

Where's it at? voice-verified

So still elevated, but it has come down. voice-verified

We spoke last week with Ian Verinder about our problems around refinery capacity. voice-verified

We're certainly not out of the woods when it comes to high oil prices, which of course lead to high petrol prices. voice-verified

So Australians are using slightly less petrol with the uptake of electric vehicles, but we've been very slow on EV uptake. voice-verified

compared to a lot of other nations. voice-verified

Do you think this crisis is a signal that a lot of consumers have needed, that we're going to keep seeing that shift? voice-verified

Now, back to price. voice-verified

The Prime Minister told the Insiders program on the ABC the government was not currently planning another fuel excise extension. voice-verified

But there might be some announcements related to fuel policies kind of coming down the line. voice-verified

So just a quick reminder, how does the fuel excise work and who pays it? voice-verified

Australia has, although it might not feel like it, some of the cheapest and most lightly taxed liquid fuel in the world. voice-verified

I know it won't feel like that as people are filling up at the pump. voice-verified

Now, what to make of these as yet unknown future fuel policies? voice-verified

Obviously, excise is the key one that government has when it comes to the petrol price, although they've been very active in building our reserves. voice-verified

And we saw the Prime Minister earlier this year go on a large tour of Asian nations, essentially swapping our LNG, our liquid natural gas, for future diesel and petrol supplies. voice-verified
